Moral injury is a profound violation of a human being's core moral
identity through experiences of violence or trauma. This is the
first book in which scholars from different faith and academic
backgrounds consider the concept of moral injury not merely from a
pastoral or philosophical point of view but through critical
engagement with the sacred texts of Judaism, Christianity, Islam,
Buddhism and American Civil Religion. This collection of essays
explores the ambiguities of personal culpability among both
perpetrators and victims of violence and the suffering involved in
accepting personal agency in trauma. Contributors provide fresh and
compelling readings of texts from different faith traditions and
use their findings to reflect on real-life strategies for recovery
from violations of core moral beliefs and their consequences such
as shame, depression and addiction. With interpretations of the
sacred texts, contributors reflect on the concerns of the
morally-injured today and offer particular aspects of healing from
their communities as support, making this a groundbreaking
contribution to the study of moral injury and trauma.
