This interdisciplinary study explores Marian imagery and
representations in world literature and art throughout the
centuries. This book demonstrates the widespread deep veneration of
the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary in various countries and
different Christian traditions. Devotion to the Holy Virgin has
served as a bridge to different cultures, overcoming all types of
possible borders. Religious and cultural literacy is crucial for
domestic and international politics, the practice of peace,
harmony, justice and prosperity. This book also gives recognition
and pays homage to the influence of the image of Mater Dolorosa in
shaping art and literature around the world.
Throughout the study of trauma theology runs a lineage that is
deeply feminist. As traumatic experience is being more frequently
acknowledged in public, this book seeks to articulate an explicit
understanding of feminist trauma theology for the first time.
Bringing together scholars from a range of disciplines, this book
explores the relationship between trauma and feminist theologies,
highlighting methodological, theological, and practical
similarities between the two. The #MeToo and #ChurchToo movements,
sexual abuse scandals, gender based violence, pregnancy loss, and
the oppression of women in Church spaces are all featured as
important topics. With contributions from a diverse team of
scholars, this book is an essential resource for all thinkers and
practitioners who are trying to navigate the current conversations
around theology, suffering, and feminism. With a foreword by Shelly
Rambo, author of Resurrecting Wounds
Much like theology itself, the experience of trauma has the
potential to reach into almost any aspect of life, refusing to fit
within the tramlines. A follow up to the 2020 volume "Feminist
Trauma Theologies", "Bearing Witness" explores further into global,
intersectional, and as yet relatively unexplored perspectives. With
a particular focus on poverty, gender and sexualities, race and
ethnicity, and health in dialogue with trauma theology the book
seeks to demonstrate both the far reaching and intersectional
nature of trauma, encouraging creative and ground-breaking
theological reflections on trauma and constructions of theology in
the light of the trauma experience. A unique set of insights into
the real-life experience of trauma, the book includes chapters
authored by a diverse group of academic theologians, practitioners
and activists. The result is a theology which extend far into the
public square
