Comprendre la guerre « en artiste et en chrétien »

How the claudelian will to understand the war « as an artist and christian » does it distinguish itself from the way that is, at this time, contemplated by other writers as Barrès ? Beyond their patriotism, The Christmas night 1914 and the War poems show that Claudel imagines the conflict as a religion war and as the opportunity of an absolutely religious redemption. It’s because the war for him answers to a divine plan which he admires as a believer and a dramatist.
