Trauma theology remains a rapidly growing field, considering as it does the impact that embodied experiences of trauma have on theological discourse. In this book, leading trauma theologian Karen O’Donnell turns her attention to the impact that trauma has on spiritual practice, and considers the ways that trauma might require a wholesale reimagining of spiritual practice into something more suitable and sustaining for trauma survivors.
Radically reworking familiar tropes of spiritual practice, she argues that rather than rushing past the suspended certainty of Holy Saturday there is a need for survivors of trauma to embrace wholly new ways of Christian living, at least for a time, such as unforgiveness, anger, protest and grief.
