- This book presents a complex theological argument that draws upon studies in psychology, political theory, literary criticism and history to illustrate resonances between an Augustinian conception of original sin and the phenomenon of moral injury in military veterans. Its primary argument distills these diverse sources to produce a theological account of combat trauma and an analysis of Sin and wartime violence in the modern world. It is the culmination of 6 years of research and is a product of the insight gleaned by the author’s 8 years of military experience, including deployments with elite American units to Iraq and Afghanistan.
