Synopsis: 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 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. Endorsements: The twentieth century has
