Description

Unspeakable Preaching and Trauma-Informed Theology by Sarah Travis explores the relationship between trauma theory and Christian theology to support preachers in crafting sermons that address suffering amid traumatic wounding. This book offers a theological lens for preachers who seek to balance the proclamation of good news with the complexities of trauma. Drawing on various theologies and insights from trauma theory, Unspeakable challenges traditional notions of a triumphant gospel, instead seeking an in-between perspective that honors both resurrection and the trauma that remains. The author develops homiletical practices that acknowledge the limitations of language and imagination experienced by traumatized individuals, positioning the preacher as witness and midwife. By exploring this intersection of theology and trauma theory, Unspeakable Preaching and Trauma-Informed Theology provides a valuable resource for preachers seeking to create healing discourses that address the complexities of suffering.
