All Quiet on the Western Front, with Jason Barnhart
Podcast: Christians Reading ClassicsPublished On: Thu Oct 15 2026
Description: A single sentence can hold an entire war: “All quiet on the Western Front.” That understatement is exactly why Erich Maria Remarque’s novel still haunts readers almost a century later, and why we wanted to slow down and read it carefully rather than treat it like a history lesson.Today we are joined by Jason Barnhart, a peace theologian and professor of historical theology, to talk through the transparency, humanity, and paradoxes that make All Quiet on the Western Front a true classic of war literature.Christians Reading Classics is a podcast from Mere Orthodoxy and is listener-supported.
