Trauma and traumatization in individual and collective dimensions

The contributors of this volume demonstrate how a highly developed expertise in interpreting Biblical and cognate literature is a substantial part of the overall discourse on the historical, literary, social, political, and religious dimensions of trauma in past and present. This idea is based on the assumption that trauma is not only a modern concept which derives from 20th century psychiatry: It is an ancient phenomenon already which predates modern discourses. Trauma studies will thus profit from how theology — specifically Biblical exegesis — and the humanities deal with trauma in terms of religion, history, sociology, and politics.
