A Church Militant: Anglicans and the Armed Forces from Queen Victoria to the Vietnam War, an excellent introduction to the subject of the relationship of the Anglican community and the military in the English-speaking world.

Peter Howson, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, UK

...a fascinating and insightful historiography of Anglican relationships with the Armed Forces of the English-speaking world in this period.

Darren Cronshaw, Journal of Religious History

An impressive number of primary sources have been consulted in the writing of this book.

Mary Morrissey, Journal of Theological Studies

Se alle

I strongly recommend this book to scholars both of Anglicanism and of war during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Jean De Dieu Mampouya, The Proceedings of the Wesley Historical Society

This is an ambitious, dense, and probably definitive work by the person arguably most qualified to do it.

Anglican and Episcopal History

Snape's knowledge of the subject matter is encyclopedic, and his research in primary and secondary sources compelling. It is also refreshing for a study of themes such as imperialism or militarism that are so often eclipsed by contemporary politics and polemics.Most of his focus is on the statements and actions of bishops and priests, as well as the contents of official decrees fromthe church's assemblies, leaving the view from the pews often untouched. What follows are some of the most significant historiographical insights from his work.

GORDON L. HEATH, The Journal of Religion

This is a study of the relationship between Anglicans and the armed forces, of the military heritage and history of the Anglican Communion, and the changing nature of this relationship between the mid-Victorian period and the 1970s. This era spanned a period of imperial expansion and colonial conflict round the turn of the twentieth century, the two World Wars, the Cold War, wars of decolonisation, and Vietnam. In terms of armed conflict, it was the bloodiest period in the history of humanity and marked the advent of weaponry that had the capacity to extinguish human civilization. This book assesses the contribution of an expansive Anglican Communion to the armed forces of the English-speaking world, examines the ways in which this has been remembered, and explores its challenging legacy for the twenty-first century Church of England.
