PIERRE TEILHARD DE CHARDIN IMAM DI TENGAH PERANG

World War I was a horrifying episode in human history. Some, however, saw past the brutality of the fighting, the squalid conditions of the trenches, and the excessive casualties on both sides, and instead saw God. World War I led to questions about humanity and its meaning. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was one of thousands of clergy, religious, and seminarians who experienced World War I as a conscript in Northern France.
