Injured But Not Broken: Constructing a Trauma Sensitive Theology - Paperback

by Jennifer Baldwin (Author)

Injured But Not Broken: Constructing a Trauma Sensitive Theology is a dissertation manuscript for the PhD program in Systematic Theology with an emphasis in religion and science at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. It focuses in the areas of Christian theology, trauma care, media studies, and interdisciplinary methodology to make the case that Christian theology and praxis must take trauma exposure and response seriously in offering a compassionate and healing theology of life and community. It explores three areas of potential abuses of power and theological options that amplify the harm done by trauma and alternative options that can move us towards healing and resiliency.
