Exploring the intersection of trauma studies and theology, this collection by Serene Jones delves into how violence impacts memory, action, and love. It examines the lasting effects of collective violence on abuse survivors, war veterans, and marginalized groups, while challenging traditional theological views on grace. Central to the essays are two faith claims: the pervasive brokenness of a violent world and God's desire for hope and grace amidst suffering. This groundbreaking work is the first to address theological concerns within trauma studies.
