{"product_id":"trauma-and-grace-theology-in-a-ruptured-world","title":"Trauma and Grace: Theology in a Ruptured World","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis substantive collection of essays by Serene Jones explores recent works in the field of trauma studies. Central to its overall theme is an investigation of the myriad ways both individual and collective violence affect ones 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. Of particular interest is Joness focus 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 might be exhibited in each context. At the heart of each essay are two deeply interrelated faith-claims that are central to Joness understanding of Christian theology: first  we live in a world profoundly broken by violence; second  God loves this world and desires that suffering be met by words of hope  of love  and of grace. This truly cutting-edge book is the first trauma study to directly take into account theological issues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986328678453,"sku":"ByrdShop_0664234100","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780664234102.jpg?v=1770896238","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/trauma-and-grace-theology-in-a-ruptured-world","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
