The core material for the study is the war sermons of the British and German clergy of 1914-1918, but the author also employs numerous speeches, books, addresses, pamphlets, and journal articles to support his arguments. As Hoover demonstrates, the Protestant churchmen played a significant role in the First World War as religion became a key ingredient in the "war fever" experienced on both sides. Religious historians as well as historians of World War I will find Hoover's study both enlightening and provocative reading.
