This book imagines new modes of religious response to trauma moving beyond simple answers to
the 'why' of human suffering toward discussions of profound expressions of faith in the
aftermath of trauma. Engaging current realities such as war race and climate change chapters
feature specific locations from which theology is done and draw on the resources of Christian
faith in order to respond. This volume recognizes religious leaders as first-responders to
trauma and offers theological reflections that can stand up in the current realities of
violence and its aftermath. The writings provide models for how to integrate the language of
faith with the literature of trauma.
