In a world saturated with trauma, where do we turn for healing and hope? Neither downplaying traumas devastation nor rushing toward easy redemption, Stephanie Edwards crafts a Christian ethic of enfleshed counter-memory as a framework for grappling with the complexities of personal and collective suffering.

Drawing insights from womanist theology, trauma studies, and the work of Johann Baptist Metz, Edwards constructs an ethic that embraces the incarnational reality of our embodied lives. Enfleshed counter-memory disrupts cultural narratives that demand forgetting, instead calling us to resist oppressive powers by remembering rightly.

For scholars, ministers, students, and all those seeking an embodied Christian response to our wounded world, this book offers a vital resource for the journey ahead.
