This book attempts to illuminate the issue of moral injury and identify means of healing, recovery, and repair for those morally injured by their experiences in combat (or similar situations).

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.

Brad E. Kelle is professor of Old Testament and Hebrew at Point Loma Nazarene University Recently and author of The Bible and Moral Injury: Reading Scripture Alongside War’s Unseen Wounds.
