Foreword / Nancy Pineda-Madrid -- Introduction -- Tracing theological hope -- A brief history of domestic violence and theology -- Women's suffering, salvation, and the empty tomb -- House of Peace : a case study of resurrection after domestic violence -- Embodied imaginative hope
How do we practice hope after trauma? What shape does hope take after abuse? In grappling with these questions, Ashley E. Theuring implicates the entire church and advocates changing our theologies of hope and our understanding of resurrection. Reimagining the Empty Tomb narrative from the Gospel of Mark in light of the experiences of domestic violence survivors, Fragile Resurrection reveals the possibility for everyday practices and relationships to mediate hope and resurrection. Theuring constructs an embodied imaginative hope found in the wake of trauma, which can speak to our current context of trauma and uncertainty.
