The study explores an aspect of Finland in World War II that has
received little attention. The research examines how Lutheran
priests contributed rhetorically to the war effort against the
Soviet Union in the Continuation War 1941-1944. The war was
emplotted using six dramatic analogies: apocalypse, holy war &
crusade, election & mission, jeremiad, the war within,
obedience and mortification. Changes from an offensive phase in
1941 to an almost chaotic retreat in summer 1944 could be explained
using rhetoric that was familiar to all Finns. The material
consists of texts by bishops, chaplains and other priests. Priestly
power is examined using the concept of metanoia, a radical
transformation of mind. The textual analysis relies on Kenneth
Burke's theory of symbolic action.
