The Church of England and the First World War (first published in
1978) explores in depth the role of the church during the tragic
circumstances of the First World War using biographies, newspapers,
magazines, letters, poetry and other sources in a balanced
evaluation. The myth that the war was fought by 'lions led by
donkeys' powerfully endures turning heroes into victims. Alan
Wilkinson demonstrates the sheer horror, moral ambiguity, and the
interaction between religion, the church and war with a scholarly,
and yet poetic, hand. The author creates a vivid image of the
church and society, includes views of the Free Churches and Roman
Catholics, portrays the pastoral problems and challenges to faith
presented by war, and the pressures for reform of church and
society. The Church of England and the First World War is written
with compelling compassion and great historical understanding,
making the book hard to put down. This expert and classic study
will grip the religious and secular alike, the general reader or
the student.
