Recent scholarship examines the relationship between moral injury and religion but rarely analyzes social processes at work therein. This article uses data from interviews with 47 post-9/11 veterans who once or currently identified as Christian to explore how religious beliefs and practices preempt, mitigate, or exacerbate moral injury. While many veterans experienced potentially morally injurious events, the differences between those with moral injury and those without depended on whether they could find resonance with meaning-making toolkits amid trauma. Dissonance stirred by incoherence in one’s moral narrative and betrayal of significant relationships spurred manifestations of moral injury. Those who achieved resonance relied on religious moral frames they brought with them or those supplied by military culture, or they engaged in explicit moral deliberation. This study reveals a complex process of belief maintenance during moral crises that extends and challenges previous examinations of culture in action, resonance, and moral injury.

在创伤中寻找共鸣:道德上的伤害和宗教在9/11后美国退伍军人中的作用

最近的奖学金研究了道德损害与宗教之间的关系,但很少分析其中的社会过程。本文使用来自47位9/11后退伍军人的采访数据,这些退伍军人曾经或目前被确定为基督徒,以探讨宗教信仰和习俗如何预防,减轻或加剧道德伤害。尽管许多退伍军人经历了潜在的道德伤害事件,但遭受道德伤害的人与未遭受道德伤害的人之间的差异取决于他们是否能在创伤中找到有意义的工具包而产生共鸣。人的道德叙事不协调引起的不和谐和对重要关系的背叛刺激了道德损伤的表现。那些获得共鸣的人依赖于他们带来的宗教道德框架或军事文化所提供的道德框架,或者他们进行了明确的道德商议。这项研究揭示了道德危机期间维持信念的复杂过程,这一过程扩展并挑战了先前对文化在行动,共鸣和道德损伤方面的考验。
