God and the Victim: Traumatic Intrusions on Grace, and Freedom - AAR Academy Series
Beste, Jennifer Erin (Assistant Professor of Theological Ethics, Assistant Professor of Theological Ethics, Xavier University)
Christian tradition holds that an individual's ability to respond to God's graceto love both God and neighbor is not wholly vulnerable to earthly contingencies, such as victimization. Today, however, trauma theory insists that situations of overwhelming violence can permanently damage a person's capacity for responsive agency. For Christians, this theory raises the very troubling possibility that humans can inflict ultimate harm on each other, such that someindividuals' eternal destiny can be determined not by themselves but by those who do great harm. Offering crucial insights that lead to a more adequate understanding of the relation between Gods grace and human freedom, Bestes important theory reconfigures our visions of God and humanity and alters ourperceptions of what it means to truly love ones neighbor.
