A Theology of Traumatic Affect offers theological tools, language, and framework to victims/survivors of trauma and their communities. Seen through the lens of affect theory, the social dimensions of trauma emerge even for individual trauma. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the author argues that due to interconnectedness of individuals, a communal effort is necessary for trauma work. Living into a different world as imagined by public imagination is possible now with collective planetary engagement of all creatures participating in co-creation.

Rev. Alice Kim is Louisville Institute postdoctoral fellow and assistant teaching professor of constructive theology at Drew University Theological School.
