In recent years, resilience has become a near ubiquitous cultural
phenomenon whose influence extends into many fields of academic
enquiry. Though research suggests that religion and spirituality
are significant factors in engendering resilient adaptation,
comparatively little biblical and theological reflection has gone
into understanding this construct. This book seeks to remedy this
deficiency through a breadth of reflection upon human resilience
from canonical biblical and Christian theological sources. Divided
into three parts, biblical scholars and theologians provide
critical accounts of these perspectives, integrating biblical and
theological insight with current social scientific understandings
of resilience. Part 1 presents a range of biblical visions of
resilience. Part 2 considers a variety of theological perspectives
on resilience, drawing from figures including Thomas Aquinas,
Martin Luther, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Part 3 explores the
clinical and pastoral applications of such expressions of
resilience. This diverse yet cohesive book sets out a new and
challenging perspective of how human resilience might be
re-envisioned from a Christian perspective. As a result, it will be
of interest to scholars of practical and pastoral theology,
biblical studies, and religion, spirituality and health. It will
also be a valuable resource for chaplains, pastors, and clinicians
with an interest in religion and spirituality.
