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.
