How survivors of abuse relate to God

Description:

Grappling with theological issues raised by abuse, this book argues that the Church should be challenged, and ministered to, by survivors. Shooter brings the survivors' narratives into dialogue with the story of Job and with medieval mystic Marguerite Porete's spirituality of 'annihilation'. Appealing to Church leaders, students, practitioners and practical theologians, this book offers a creative and ethical theological enquiry as well as some spiritual anchor points for survivors.
