Feminist Trauma Theologies cover

Throughout the study of trauma theology runs a lineage that is deeply feminist. As traumatic experience is being more frequently acknowledged in public, this book seeks to articulate an explicit understanding of feminist trauma theology for the first time.
Bringing together scholars from a range of disciplines, this book explores the relationship between trauma and feminist theologies, highlighting methodological, theological, and practical similarities between the two. The #MeToo and #ChurchToo movements, sexual abuse scandals, gender based violence, pregnancy loss, and the oppression of women in Church spaces are all featured as important topics.   With contributions from a diverse team of scholars, this book is an essential resource for all thinkers and practitioners who are trying to navigate the current conversations around theology, suffering, and feminism.   With a foreword by Shelly Rambo, author of Resurrecting Wounds

“A remarkable book. It takes feminist theologies’ engagement with trauma to a whole new level. This groundbreaking collection promises to open minds, change lives, spark insight, reveal the ever-deepening fractures of trauma, and offer a glimpse of healing. Its feminist theologies at their best – pastoral, socially critically, activist, scholarly, bold, existentially engaged, and painfully, powerfully real.” -- Serene Jones, President, Union Theological Seminary
"This wise and courageous set of essays represents a significant contribution to the field of feminist trauma theology. The powerful testimonies collected in this volume name the prevalence of traumatic suffering in church and society, as well as witnessing to the power of theology both to wound and to heal." -- Elaine Graham, Grosvenor Research Professor of Practical Theology at the University of Chester
