Trauma and traumatization in individual and collective dimensions
Book Description
This scholarly exploration bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary understanding by examining how trauma has shaped human experience across millennia. Rather than viewing trauma as solely a modern psychological concept, this collection reveals how biblical texts and historical literature have long grappled with individual and collective wounds.
The contributors bring together expertise from biblical scholarship, theology, and the humanities to demonstrate that ancient communities understood and documented traumatic experiences in ways that remain relevant today. Through careful analysis of religious texts and historical sources, they show how trauma manifests not only in personal suffering but also in the collective memory of entire peoples and cultures.
This interdisciplinary approach offers readers a deeper perspective on how spiritual traditions have historically processed pain, loss, and recovery. By examining trauma through the lens of biblical exegesis alongside historical, social, and political contexts, the work provides insights into how communities have found meaning and healing across different eras.
For those interested in understanding the intersection of spirituality and psychological healing, this volume presents a unique framework that honors both ancient wisdom and contemporary trauma studies. The book invites readers to consider how religious and literary traditions offer enduring resources for comprehending and addressing the wounds that affect individuals and societies throughout history.
