Comfort in the Ashes : Explorations in the Book of Job to support Trauma Survivors

---

Outline : Trauma brings people to the ash heap, so that is where the Church needs to go. The church should serve as a refuge for people in pain. And yet, we often end up unintentionally causing more hurt to trauma survivors. Theological platitudes and positive thinking aren't simply dismissive to those who suffer, but they inevitably retraumatize the wounded. Does the Bible have anything practical to offer church leaders as they engage the pain their congregations? Biblical scholar Michelle Keener shows us that the book of Job provides embodied and practical answers for the church today. In her exploration of trauma theory and its intersection with the book of Job, she shows that Job's experience offers deep wisdom for Christian communities. Comfort in the Ashes helps leaders navigate their own trauma and gives practical guidance for supporting others whose worlds are falling apart. God meets us in our ashes and our pain. It's time for the church to do the same.
