520    "This book argues that Christian ethics urgently needs the
       category of tragic dilemmas. The author argues for a 
       definition of tragic dilemmas that responds to 
       philosophical concerns in a Christian context, using 
       insights from the Protestant and Roman Catholic traditions,
       and in light of psychological evidence of moral injury 
       after combat. Jackson-Meyer suggests that in a tragic 
       dilemma an agent deliberates on, with sufficient knowledge,
       an issue that involves non-negotiable moral requirements 
       in line with Christian obligations to protect human life 
       and the vulnerable. The agent is morally responsible for 
       the harm caused and/or the obligation not acted upon. 
       However, culpability is mitigated due to the constraints 
       of the situation as long as the agent acts with, what 
       Aquinas calls, "repugnance of the will." Tragic dilemmas 
       are often the result of sin, a reality to which the 
       Augustinian tradition is keenly attuned. When involvement 
       in a tragic dilemma produces emotional harm, this has the 
       power to undermine character because passions and the 
       moral life are inextricably related. In turn, the agent's 
       life is marred. In light of this harm, it is incumbent on 
       Christian communities to offer opportunities for moral 
       healing after tragic dilemmas"--|cProvided by publisher.
