Abstract

David Janzen discusses the concepts of history and trauma and contrasts the ways historians and trauma survivors grapple with traumatic events, a contrast embodied in the very different ways the books of Kings and Lamentations react to the destruction of Jerusalem. History is a narrative explanation that creates a past readers can recognize to be true, and ancient Judean readers of the book of Kings could have seen it as a history, since it provides a narrative of the destruction of Jerusalem they would have been able to believe. Trauma, however, results in a failure of victims to fully experience or remember traumatic events. Because survivors cannot truly know the events that traumatized them, they cannot put them into an explanatory narrative, and so history fails in the face of trauma. Lamentations is an example of this narrative failure, as different voices suggest explanations for victims' sufferings, only for those narratives to be contradicted or drowned out in survivors' repetition of their pain. Janzen's study warns that explanations in histories will tend to silence the voices of trauma survivors, and it challenges traditional approaches that sometimes portray the explanations of traumatic events in biblical literature as therapeutic for victims.

Abstract

The field of biblical studies has championed the historical-critical method as the only way to guarantee objective interpretation. But in recent decades, scholars have pursued hermeneutical approaches that provide interpretations useful for marginalized communities who see the Bible as a resource in their struggles against oppression. Such liberative strategies remain on the margins. The Liberation of Method argues that this marginality must end, and that liberative methods should become central to biblical studies.

Abstract

The Violent Gift traces the narrative of the exilic author of the Deuteronomistic History, a narrative that provides an explanation for the trauma that the Judean community in Babylon suffered. As the book follows this explanation through the History, however, it also reads Dtr through the lens of trauma theory. Massive psychic trauma is not something that can be captured within narrative explanation, and trauma intrudes into the narrative's explanation of the exiles' trauma. Trauma challenges the claims upon which the narrative's explanation is based, thus subverting this attempt to make sens
