Spirit and trauma : a theology of remaining

Rambo draws on contemporary studies in trauma to rethink a central claim of the Christian faith: that new life arises from death.

Reexamining the narrative of the death and resurrection of Jesus from the middle day-liturgically named as Holy Saturday-she seeks a theology that addresses the experience of living in the aftermath of trauma.

Through a reinterpretation of "remaining" in the Johannine Gospel, she proposes a new theology of the Spirit that challenges traditional conceptions of redemption.

Offered, in its place, is a vision of the Spirit's witness from within the depths of human suffering to the persistence of divine love.
