Alice Kim’s A Theology of Traumatic Affect: A Political and Religious Engagement is a groundbreaking tapestry that weaves trauma theology with affect theory into a harmonious ‘Theology of Trauma and Affect.’ This luminous work delves into a vital theme, casting ripples across political philosophy, philosophy of emotion, feminist theory, and process theology. Through the alchemy of diverse interdisciplinary perspectives, this book offers a beacon of hope and remedies for traumas stemming from political, social, ecological, theological, and relational experiences.
