Religion and violence are inextricably linked in people's minds but were they in any way so causally related in the various armed conflicts Britain has been committed to during the twentieth-century? What political and religious standpoints did the established church take on these wars and how did its view shape the public mindset? This book will explore the distinctive and various viewpoints of the clergy and hierarchy of the Church of England on war from the First World War to the first war in the Gulf and in doing so also examine the changing relationship of the church people of Britain over this hundred year period.
