| Description: |
As research continues to reveal more about the impacts of trauma and stress on our brains and nervous systems, traditional theological concepts need to be reshaped to meet these new understandings. Current events and experiences of violence, war, and a global pandemic do not only impact individuals but whole communities and societies, and the effects span generations. The pastoral implications of this are vast and must be explored.
Pastoral theologian Heidi Ann Russell answers advances in trauma study with a new theological anthropology that considers questions of freedom, sin, and grace in conversation with our understanding of the brain, trauma, and stress. Pastorally, the book uncovers the layers of trauma present in those we serve in our faith communities. Ministers and faith communities who provide spiritual care should understand trauma and how relationships can both hurt and heal people, so they can help bring healing, hope, and support to the world.
As informative as it is practical, this new volume explores the theological and pastoral implications of trauma-informed ministry that leads to human flourishing. |
