| Synopsis: |
This work traces the evolution of the male military-heroic tradition of the West and its re-invigoration by Christian theology and ecclesiology. It aims to show how this heroic tradition lies behind notions of national and gender identity and how, with the shared symbolism of war remembrance and war memorials, a common Eurochristian culture has been achieved in the 20th century. The book concludes with an analysis of the working out of this culture in debates about war crimes, masculine concepts of "duty" and a war (The Gulf War) on Eurochristianity's frontier with Islam. |
