The twentieth century has been called a "century of horror". Proof
of that, designation can be found in the vast and ever-increasing
volume of scholarly work on violence, trauma, memory, and history
across diverse academic disciplines. This book demonstrates not
only the ways in which the wars of the twentieth century have
altered theological engagement and religious practice, but also the
degree to which religious ways of thinking have shaped the way we
construct historical narratives. Drawing on diverse sources - from
the Hebrew Bible to Commonwealth war graves, from Greek tragedy to
post-Holocaust theology - Alana M. Vincent probes the intersections
between past and present, memory and identity, religion and
nationality. The result is a book that defies categorization and
offers no easy answers, but instead pursues an agenda of
theological realism, holding out continued hope for the restoration
of the world.
