This paper examines the problem of combat-related trauma and reviews the literature that discusses spiritual aspects of trauma, resilience, and posttraumatic growth. The author proposes a biblical, Christ-centered approach for understanding PSTD and finding healing. Biblical templates challenge traditional psychological interventions and pose the possibility of new constructs for understanding trauma. The author developed and administered a 23-item questionnaire to 165 recent combat veterans and conducted 30 interviews of soldiers who have served in either Iraq or Afghanistan. Findings supported the use of spiritual protocols and revealed the importance of spirituality and family connections as a resilience and growth factor among soldiers.
