Much has been written on the centenary of the First World War.
However, no book has yet explored the tragedy of the conflict from
a theological perspective. Life after Tragedy fills that gap.
Taking their cue from the famous British army chaplain Geoffrey
Studdert Kennedy, seven central essays, all by authors associated
with the cathedral where Studdert Kennedy first preached to troops,
examine aspects of faith that featured in the war, such as the
notion of 'home', poetry, theological doctrine, preaching, social
reform, humanitarianism, and remembrance. Each essay applies its
reflections to the life of faith today, thus representing a highly
original contribution to the history of the First World War in
general and the work of Studdert Kennedy in particular. They
provide wider theological insight into how, in the contemporary
world, 'life' and tragedy, likewise God and suffering, can be
integrated.This book will accordingly be of considerable interest
to historians, both of the war and of the church; to communities
commemorating the war; and to all those who wrestle with current
challenges to faith.
