The rich history of military chaplains spans centuries and continents. Focusing on eighteenth-century Great Britain and the Anglican Church, this thesis contributes historical interpretation to a small segment of this history and asks how the military profession and the Christian faith were reconciled in chaplains’ sermons addressed to soldiers. From a close reading of these sermons—and by applying a comparative method, intertextual analysis, and discourse theory—three overarching themes emerge that pertain to this reconciliation of the military profession and the Christian faith, namely, service, conduct, and admonishment against sin.
