How can Scripture address some of the most important issues of our
time? In Political Trauma and Healing Mark Brett offers a careful
reading of biblical texts that speak to some of our most pressing
public issues - the legacies of colonialism, the demands of asylum
seekers, the challenges of climate change, and the shaping of
redemptive economies. Brett argues that the Hebrew Bible can be
read as a series of reflections on political trauma and healing -
the long saga of a succession of ancient empires violently
asserting their own forms of sovereignty over ancient Israel, and
of the Israelites forced to live out new pathways toward
restoration. Brett helps recover the prophetic voice of Scripture
in these texts and applies them to the contemporary world,
addressing current justice issues in a relevant, constructive, and
compelling manner.
