Overview

The Vietnam War and Theologies of Memory develops a theological analysis of the American war in Vietnam and constructs a Christian account of memory in relation to this tragic conflict.









  • An elegantly written reflection of memory and forgiveness, this unique work explores the ecclesial practice of memory in relation to the American war in Vietnam

  • Questions how and why we choose to remember atrocity, and asks whether it is ever ethical to simply forget

  • Explores the theological categories of time and eternity, and the ideas of thinkers including Aquinas, Augustine, and Barth

  • Reveals broader insights about history, memory, and redemption

  • Resonates beyond the field of theological inquiry by offering a broader analysis of war entirely relevant to our time

Reviews

"Tran's book is a model for contextually grounded theological analysis. Much of it is sophisticated theology, but portions will be useful for professionals from other disciplines who work with veterans, especially on spiritual issues." (CHOICE, December 2010)"Tran is at his best when analyzing the POW/MIA movement and other stories from the war and the lives of the veterans. His remarkable account of the other positions suffering of the Vietnam veteran is among the most moving sections of the book." - Christian Century, December 2010
