Neither downplaying trauma’s devastation nor rushing toward easy redemption, Stephanie Edwards crafts a Christian ethic of “enfleshed counter-memory” as a framework for grappling with the complexities of personal and collective suffering.

And, where do go from here?Daniel P. Horan is professor of philosophy, religious studies, and theology, and director of the Center for the Study of Spirituality at Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame.
