Military Ministry, Second Edition: Chaplains in the Twenty-First Century - Paperback

by Paul E. Linzey (Author), B. Keith Travis (Author), Christopher J. Linzey (Author)

The church is called to provide clergy for the military. Seminaries educate and prepare students. But there are complexities, controversies, and criticisms and many seminary or college professors have no experience in the military. Understanding these dilemmas, Paul Linzey, Keith Travis, and Chris Linzey created a much-needed resource. They have trained and mentored thousands of chaplains, pastors, and ministerial students in the United States and several other nations. The result is a comprehensive book about serving as military chaplains in the twenty-first century. Drawing from their experience as pastors, chaplains, professors, endorsing agent, chaplain recruiters, and social media content creators, they provide a professional resource for anyone interested in ministry. Their records, qualifications, and expertise combine to provide a passionate and authoritative look at serving as military chaplains today. The book is well-researched, true to life, and up to date. It is unparalleled in scope.
