Details: Product Description This substantive collection from noted scholar Serene Jones explores recent work in the field of trauma studies. Central to its overall theme is an investigation of how individual and collective violence affect one’s capacity to remember, to act, and to love; how violence can challenge theological understandings of grace; and even how the traumatic experience of Jesus’ death is remembered. Jones focuses on the long-term effects of collective violence on abuse survivors, war veterans, and marginalized populations and the discrete ways in which grace and redemption may be exhibited in each context. At the heart of each essay are two deeply interrelated faith claims that are central to Jones’s understanding of Christian theology: (1) We live in a world profoundly broken by violence, and (2) God loves this world and desires that suffering be met by words of hope, love, and grace. This timely and relevant cutting-edge book is the first trauma study to directly take into account theological issues. Review “A classic text in theology and trauma, Trauma and Grace, Second Edition meets the current moment, cutting to the heart of Christian theology and to its insidious entanglements with race. Just as the first edition named trauma as a theological issue, this edition makes it impossible for persons of faith to turn away from the most pressing questions of our time.” – Shelly Rambo, Associate Professor of Theology, Boston University School of Theology, author of Spirit and Trauma: A Theology of Remaining and Resurrecting Wounds: Living in the Afterlife of Trauma About the Author Serene Jones is President of Union Theological Seminary and holds the Johnston Family Chair in Religion and Democracy. Before Union, she was the Titus Street Professor of Systematic Theology at Yale Divinity School.
