Careful scholarship and insightful commentary characterize this seminal treatment of the teachings of the church lathers concerning the military question. This first English translation of the now classic work includes an introduction which reviews the research since Harnack. The first chapter deals with the use of military terms and images in the New Testament and early Christian writings, and the effects this usage had on the behavior and attitudes of the church (for example, the issue of "holy war"). The second chapter reviews the sources to determine to what extent early Christians participated in the military and what judgments the church made on participation in warfare. The work also suggests how the apocalyptic mentality may have helped to legitimate participation in military activities and provides insight into how the early church came to terms with the problem of continuing life in the world.

Virginia Militia in the War of 1812 is a two-volume work containing the names of some 40,000 Virginia militiamen. The first volume was originally published in 1851 by the Virginia Auditor's Office, and the second, much larger, volume was published a year later as a "Supplement." When it was originally published the first volume carried the title Pay Rolls of Militia Entitled to Land Bounty Under the Act of Congress of Sept. 28, 1850; while the second volume was designated Muster Rolls of the Virginia Militia in the War of 1812, Being a Supplement to the Pay Rolls. Both volumes have now been reprinted under the simple title Virginia Militia in the War of 1812, and an index--entirely lacking in the original publications--has been added to each volume for the ease and convenience of the researcher. Since the rolls were printed somewhat haphazardly--neither in chronological order nor in regimental order, and certainly not in alphabetical order by soldier's name--these new indexes are absolutely indispensable. Copied from rolls in the Auditor's Office at Richmond, the two volumes have identical formats: both are arranged by company, under which are columns which give the soldier's name, rank, the time of his service in months and days, and a final "Remarks" column which sometimes provides alternate readings of the soldier's name, names of substitutes, and service notes, including such details as whether the soldier was discharged, transferred, or had deserted. In many cases the militia companies are identified in relation to the Virginia county in which the company was raised, making research in early Virginia records just a touch easier. Both of these volumes have lain in relative obscurity until now--probably for want of an index--so we are delighted to add them to our list of important genealogy reference books and to make them available for research. Publication of these scarce and invaluable books should give a tremendous boost to Virginia genealogy.

The virtues of the citizen-soldier are prominent in the history of the American Revolution, but less attention has been given to the citizen-sailor. However, there were state navies during the war, the seaward equivalent of the state militias, and the state of South Carolina put to sea the most important of these. Under the leadership of Commodore Alexander Gillon the South Carolina navy secured the services of the largest warship under any American’s command, the frigate South Carolina. Built in Holland and designed to combine speed with firepower, this frigate’s most notable achievement was the capture of the British Bahamas in 1782 in the only American military maneuver to seize and hold foreign territory outside the borders of the Thirteen Colonies. With success, however, came controversy. At the end of the war, the South Carolina was chased to the ground by three British warships and captured. The state of South Carolina struggled for seventy years to honor the financial obligations incurred in operating the frigate.
