[Fascination and Horror of War]
Even 100 years after the end of World War I, the echo left by this bloody beginning to an insurmountably bloody century has still not faded away. One of the most striking characteristics of this war is how unfathomable horror was combined in a unique way with an enthusiasm about the end of an era which was regarded as "unheroic". An attempt was made to arouse and sustain a fascination with war through intellectual, religious and philosophical constructions coupled with political propaganda. The XXIII. Werner-Reihlen Lecture Series held in 2014 examined the impact of World War I. Interdisciplinary discussions explored the philosophical and religious constructions which accompanied this war as well as the attempts made by the arts and literature to cope with its horrors. The results of this conference are presented in this issue of the Beihefte zur Berliner Theologischen Zeitschrift.
