Byrnes, Joseph F., author. aut http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut God on the Western Front : Soldiers and Religion in World War I / Joseph F. Byrnes. University Park, PA : Penn State University Press, [2023] ©2023 1 online resource (264 p.) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier text file PDF rda restricted access http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_16ec online access with authorization star From 1914 to 1918, religious believers and hopeful skeptics tried to find meaning and purpose behind divinely willed destruction. God on the Western Front is a history of lived religion across national boundaries, religious affiliations, and class during World War I, utilizing an expansive record of primary sources.Joseph F. Byrnes takes readers on a tour of the battlefields of France, listening to the words of German, French, and English soldiers; going behind the lines to hear from the men and women who provided pastoral and medical care; and reviewing the religious writings of priests, bishops, ministers, and rabbis as they tried to make sense of it all. The story begins with citizens at home as they responded to the obligation to make war and then focuses on the "God-talk" and "nation-talk" that soldiers used to express their foundational religious experiences. Byrnes's study attends to the words of average men who struggled to articulate their religious sentiments, alongside the generals Helmuth von Moltke, Ferdinand Foch, and Douglas Haig and the soldier theologians Franz Rosenzweig, Paul Tillich, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and Geoffrey Studdert Kennedy. In doing so, he shows how religious and battle experience are intertwined and showcases the wide range of spiritual responses that emerged across boundaries.Going beyond the typical constraints of studies focused either on one nation or one confessional affiliation, Byrnes's international and interfaith approach breaks new ground. It will appeal to scholars and students of modern European history, religious history, and the history of war. Mode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. In English.
