摘要 军队需要对宗教有更深入的概念性理解，单靠牧师无法填补军队的宗教空白。相反，宗教——或者我们可以更广泛地称之为战争的精神层面——是每个人的“问题”，也是每个人（从将军到下）都需要考虑的“问题”。宗教和军队的世俗方法传统上将牧师的责任定位于个人或私人信仰层面。在稳定行动中进行宗教活动的军事牧师的公众地位挑战了这种世俗方法，而牧师对个体战士的内在灵魂或道德内在的关注似乎强化了这种方法。
Abstract The military needs a deeper conceptual understanding of religion, and chaplains alone cannot fill the military's religion gaps. Rather, religion—or what we might call more broadly the spiritual dimension of war—is everybody's “problem” and charge toconsider, from the generals on down. Secular approaches to religion and the militarytraditionally locate chaplain responsibilities with respect to personal or private dimensions of faith. The public prominence of military chaplains conducting religiousengagement in stability operations challenges this secular approach, while chaplains' focus on the inner soul or moral interior of the individual warrior seems to reinforce it.
