Darryl W. Stephens suggests that human dignity and equality under God can be used to address the most intractable moral problems of our time: sexual abuse, racism, environmental degradation, and more. This work examines Christian ethics sensitive to the trauma histories that are already present individually and collectively in and among our faith communities.

Stephens encourages us to see that Christian ethics is real, perspectival, dialogical, participatory and purposeful – he reconceives the entirety of Christian ethics through trauma-informed lens, recognizing that many people wrestle with significant trauma histories every day. He explores the theological implications of trauma-informed approach to a wide range of social issues, and engages with Wesleyan, feminist and liberationist perspectives.

Designed for classroom use, it includes a number of pedagogical features, such as case studies and questions for discussion, engaging with key areas of contemporary concern.

Reviews for Trauma-Informed Christian Ethics: Bearing Witness through Love, Justice, and Solidarity in Community

Historically grounded and oriented toward liberation and justice, Stephens offers an excellent entrée into understanding the importance of trauma-informed Christian ethics, while also expanding how we think about trauma by moving from the personal (intimate violence) to the structural (climate change) to the sacred (clergy abuse). In promoting a Christian witness of radical empathy, Stephens challenges readers to take up the task of bearing witness and offers readers tools for developing a trauma-informed Christian ethic that can help Christian leaders and congregations move toward moral repair and restorative justice. It is indispensable reading for shaping ministries of compassion and justice in a world where too many people have experienced violence and exploitation. * Rebecca Todd Peters, Elon University, USA *
