The history of Protestant military chaplaincy in the century of the Reformation has been little researched. Jobst Reller presents here the first comprehensive account, ranging from the beginnings in the Peasants' Wars, through Luther and Zwingli, the war books to the military church law of Gustav II Adolf of Sweden and the Thirty Years' War. In a pan-European perspective, military chaplaincy in Sweden, the Netherlands and France is also examined.
With this work, the author introduces the largely unexplored structure of Protestant military chaplaincy some 500 years ago and the role of Martin Luther, for example.
