In a world where pain often hides behind polished pews and quiet prayers, Trauma-Informed Theology: An African American Intimate Partner Violence Intervention Tool for the Pentecostal Clergy offers a Spirit-led invitation to heal. Rooted in lived ministry, academic insight, and deep compassion, Bridget Robinson weaves trauma-informed theology into the Pentecostal context to address intimate partner violence, grief, and generational trauma, especially within the African American community. This is a book that speaks directly to our experiences. This book is not just theoretical, it's pastoral and prophetic, a practical guide grounded in theological reflection. Through personal narrative, biblical insight, and a trauma-informed framework, Robinson calls clergy, caregivers, and scholars to move beyond performative strength into sacred vulnerability, the kind that creates space for real healing. Drawing from hermeneutic phenomenology and Spirit-filled scholarship, this work urges the church to confront the theologies that silence survivors and retraumatize the wounded. Clarity and compassion equip readers to listen more deeply, respond more faithfully, and lead more tenderly. Whether used in seminary classrooms, ministry training, or personal study, this timely resource calls us to cultivate courageous compassion rooted in justice, led by love, and sustained by the breath of the Holy Spirit.
