“Preaching a street song without any response in the soul.”During and after the First World War, German military chaplains were heavily criticized. They were charged with lacking the courage to serve soldiers on the frontlines, and with overemphasizing victory over themes of death and redemption in their sermons.
Drawing on personal testimony by both military chaplains and ordinary soldiers, Dr. Benjamin Ziemann will offer a more nuanced picture of the historical record of German military chaplains, discussing the practical problems and challenges to pastoral care experience amid total war.
