Description

Explore the history of religious activity within the eighteenth-century navy with this work from Boydell Press. This book examines why religious observance flourished during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, reaching levels of piety not seen since the days of Queen Anne. Through the study of figures like the Evangelical Admiral Gambier, who distributed tracts to his fleet during wartime, the text analyzes the tension between fervent piety and the demands of a fighting service. It details how Evangelical laymen drove change by focusing on public worship and moving toward active proselytism to find new converts. This historical study provides a deep look into the manifestations of faith and the dynamic shifts in naval culture during this era.
