This is a reprint of two popular Confederate battlefront spiritual
aides. In the 1980s, the Army Chaplain Corps adopted the credo
'Nurture the living/Care for the wounded/Honor the dead'. It
summarizes more than 200 years of chaplain ministry with soldiers
during war and peace. C. T. Quintard's "Soldier's Pocket Manual of
Devotions" was one Civil War chaplain's expression of the hope and
faith on which the credo is built. In 1861, Chaplain Quintard of
the 1st Tennessee Regiment marched off to care for his soldiers as
they joined the Army of Virginia. His "Soldier's Pocket Manual of
Devotions" was a very popular and widely distributed devotional
manual used by many Confederate soldiers. In his booklet "Balm for
the Weary and Wounded" (1864), Quintard reached back often to the
writers of the 'Oxford Movement', which was his theological
underpinning. In addition to familiar prayers, collects, and hymns
from the "Book of Common Prayer", he adds poems, sermons, and
religious texts of this movement. Quintard believes God's spirit
provides that balm through the teachings and sacraments of the
church that enables the human spirit to prevail. Students of the
Civil War, reenactors, collectors, historians, and theologians will
find these volumes of immeasurable value.
