Beskrivning
Moral injury has developed in earnest since 2009 within psychology and military studies, especially through work with veterans of the U.S. military’s wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. A major part of this work is the attempt to identify means of healing, recovery, and repair for those morally injured by their experiences in combat (or similar situations). What this volume does is to provide insight into the identification of moral injury, the development of the notion, attempts to work with those affected, emerging ideas about moral injury, portraits of moral injury in the past and present, and, especially, what creative engagement with moral injury might look like from a variety of perspectives. As such, it will be an important resource for Christian ministers, chaplains, health care workers, and other providers and caregivers who serve afflicted communities.

Recensioner i media

This is a remarkable and remarkably useful volume, excellently edited by Brad Kelle, who recently penned his own monograph on moral injury and its relationship to the Bible. Sixteen substantial essays from expert theorists and practitioners (some of whom are themselves military veterans) offer great insight onto this difficult and draining topic from the fields of theology, psychology, biblical studies, chaplaincy, and more. The result is exactly what editor Kelle hoped for and what we readers need: a multi-voiced and multi-perspectival resource for understanding moral injury and a model for creative and cross-disciplinary ways of engaging an issue that will only become more important in our ever more violent world. Highly recommended!
