The War and the Gospel: Sermons and Addresses During the Present War

A collection of sermons and addresses delivered during the wartime period that applies Christian teaching to the realities of combat, national duty, mourning, and public prayer. The pieces move through seasonal and liturgical occasions—Christmas, Easter, Advent, and Whitsun—and include topical reflections on divine judgment, resistance, the Christian sanction of war, intercession for rulers, prayer for the dead, and the relation between Christ and the soldier. Pastoral exposition is paired with practical consolation, urging right judgment, spiritual resolve, and reliance on eternal sources of goodness while confronting moral perplexities and sacrifice. The collection aims to offer comfort, ethical guidance, and a religious perspective to civilian and military audiences alike.
