Preached on board ship at Smyrna, 1843. "Leaving us an example."--1 Pet. ii. 21. "when it is considered who Christ was, when it is considered from whence He came and what He came to do, it must certainly be confessed that few or none of us pay Him that attention which He deserves. For that can be said of Christ that can be said of no other person that ever lived. Compare the lives of other men with the life of Christ, and they all sink into insignificance; whether we consider the wonderful events that adorn His history or the consequences which followed them. It may be said, indeed it may be proved, that the present civilised state of mankind is owing to what He did; but although that is a great deal to say, and can be said of no other person, yet it is but little in comparison with what we might say of Him. The greatest and happiest consequences of our Lord's labours are not to be sought in this life, but in the next. He came certainly to improve our condition upon earth, but His great object was to warn us against losing heaven. So that during all the time that He laboured, while He was healing diseases, relieving hunger and distress, and setting us an example to do the same, He continually returned to the great question--' What shall it profit a man, though he gain the whole world, if he lose his own soul?' This was the prevailing feeling that ran through all His discourses, all His parables, and that actuated and impelled His very actions. "This feeling, indeed, often gave severity to His manner, and infused a harshness into the tone of His discourses in the judgment of those who could...

A survey and reassessment of the role of the army chaplain in its first 150 years. Few military or ecclesiastical figures are as controversial as the military chaplain, routinely attacked by pacifist and anticlerical commentators and too readily dismissed by religious and military historians. This highly revisionist study represents a complete reappraisal of the role of the British army chaplain and of the Royal Army Chaplains' Department in the first century and a half of its existence. Challenging old caricatures and stereotypes and drawing on a wealth of new archival material, it surveys the political, denominational and organisational development of the R.A.Ch.D., analyses the changing role and experience of the British army chaplain across the nineteenth century and the two World Wars, and addresses the wider significance of British army chaplaincy for Britain's military, religious and cultural history over the period c.1800-1950. MICHAEL SNAPE is Senior Lecturer in ModernHistory at the University of Birmingham. The volume has a Foreword by Richard Holmes.

Shows how the rise of evangelical religion in the navy helped create a new kind of sailor, technologically trained and steeped in a higher set of values. This book examines how, as the nineteenth century progressed, religious piety, especially evangelical piety, was seen in the British navy less as eccentric and marginal and more as an essential ingredient of the character looked for in professional seamen. The book traces the complex interplay between formal religious observance, such as Sunday worship, and pockets of zealous piety, showing how evangelicalism gradually earned less grudging regard, until inthe 1860s and 1870s it became a dominant source of values and a force for moral reform. Religion in the British Navy explains this shift, outlining how Arctic expeditions showed the need for dependability and character, how Health Returns revealed the full extent of sexual licence and demonstrated the urgency of moral reform, and how manning difficulties in the Russian War of 1854-1856 showed that a modern fleet required a new type of sailor, technologically trained and steeped in a higher set of values. The book also discusses how the navy, with its newly awakened religious sensibilities, played a major role in the expansion of Protestant missions globally, in exploration, convict transportation, the expansion of imperial frontiers, and worldwide maritime policing operations. Fervent piety had an effect in all these areas - religion had helped develop a new kind of manliness where piety as well asdaring had a place. RICHARD BLAKE is the author of Evangelicals in the Royal Navy, 1775-1815 (Boydell 2008).
