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
