Cristina Lledo Gomez: Vulnerability and Flourishing, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In the wake of various sexual abuse crises and patterns of abuse and cover-up which deny voice and agency to many, an important work of a post-traumatic church and society is to attune to the various and evolving ways vulnerability can be experienced. Vulnerability and Flourishing aims to develop theological and multidisciplinary resources for responding to vulnerability to violence and abuse, in support of the flourishing of all of God's creation. When is vulnerability a good, and when is it subject to manipulation and harm? How might society and church understand vulnerability today, deconstruct and analyze its various manifestations and build up a way of life that cares for and protects the vulnerable, even paving ways forward for flourishing? How might the church reimagine itself if its preferential option for the poor expressed itself more intentionally as a preferential option for the vulnerable?
