This volume offers a historical analysis of the long and convoluted path toward peace among Christian denominations. In doing so, it traces a thematic arc extending from Luthers treatise *Whether Soldiers, Too, Can Be Saved* in the 16th centuryvia Prussian Pietism and the misguided trajectory of National Protestantism in the 19th and 20th centuriesto the *Innere Führung* (Inner Leadership) doctrine of the Bundeswehr and contemporary military chaplaincy. Furthermore, it provides insights into recent research findings and lines of inquiry that are crucial for understanding the reorientations Protestantism has undergone since the second half of the 20th century.
