Reviews

Historically grounded and oriented toward liberation and justice, Stephens offers an excellent entrée into understanding the importance of trauma-informed Christian ethics, while also expanding how we think about trauma by moving from the personal (intimate violence) to the structural (climate change) to the sacred (clergy abuse). In promoting a Christian witness of radical empathy, Stephens challenges readers to take up the task of bearing witness and offers readers tools for developing a trauma-informed Christian ethic that can help Christian leaders and congregations move toward moral repair and restorative justice. It is indispensable reading for shaping ministries of compassion and justice in a world where too many people have experienced violence and exploitation. * Rebecca Todd Peters, Elon University, USA *
