The nature of religion on the domestic front in Britain during the
Second World War has, hitherto, been relatively unexplored. This
study focuses on Birmingham and describes wartime popular religion,
primarily as recounted in oral testimony. The difference the War
made to people's faith, and the consolation wrought by prayer and a
religious outlook are explored, as are the religious language and
concepts utilised by the wartime popular media of cinema and
wireless. Clerical rhetoric about the War and concerns to
spiritualise the war effort are dealt with by an analysis of
locally published sources, especially parish magazines and other
religious ephemera, which set the War on the spiritual as much as
the military plane. A final section of the study is devoted to
measuring the extent of the influence of the churches in the
creation of a vision for post-war Britain and Birmingham.
