Description
History through Trauma: A New Understanding of History-Making in the Hebrew Bible This book explores how sacred texts can become symbols of torture or liberation, and how trauma affects their creation and dissolution. The Deuteronomic Covenant is analyzed as part of Israel's history of exile, revealing a counter-history in the Book of Job that challenges the dominant narrative. By examining the impact of trauma on history-making, this work sheds new light on biblical studies, practical theology, pastoral psychology, and psychoanalysis.
