About the Book

God's Wounds: Hermeneutic of the Christian Symbol of Divine Suffering, Volume II: Evil and Divine Suffering is the second of a three-volume study of Christian testimonies to divine suffering. The larger study focuses its inquiry on the testimonies to divine suffering themselves, seeking to allow the voices that attest to divine suffering to speak freely. The goal is then to discover and elucidate the internal logic or rationality of this family of testimonies, rather than defending these attestations against the dominant claims of classical Christian theism that have historically sought to eliminate such language altogether from Christian discourse about the nature and life of God. This second volume proceeds on the basis of the presuppositions of the symbol, those implicit attestations that permit the possibility of divine suffering - that which constitutes divine vulnerability with respect to creation. The author investigates two divine wounds or modes of divine suffering to which the larger family of testimonies normally attest: (1) divine grief, or suffering due to human sin or betrayal by the beloved human; and (2) divine self-sacrifice, or suffering for the beloved human in its bondage to sin or misery, so as to establish the possibility of redemption and reconciliation.

About the Author :
Jeff B. Pool is Associate Professor of Religion, College Chaplain, and Director of the Campus Christian Center, Berea College, Berea, Kentucky.

Review :
"In this second of his three-volume phenomenological-hermeneutic of the Cristian symbol of divine suffering, Pool (religion, Berea College, Kentucky) develops an exposition of what he has described as the first two wounds of God - divine grief and divine self-sacrifice. For the first, he discusses infidelity of the beloved human, sorrow of the betrayed divine lover, and anguish of the betrayed divine lover. For the second, he discusses the misery of the beloved human's infidelity, travail of the betrayed divine lover's fidelity, and agony of the betrayed divine lover's fidelity. The other two volumes of God's Wounds cover divine vulnerability and creation, and divine suffering and tragic reality." Book News Inc,Reference - Research Book News - October 2011
