A little late sharing this as I was busy getting married on the day it was published, but my review of 'Comfort in the Ashes' by Michelle Keener can be found in the journal Practical Theology! Highly recommended book for those in pastoral roles.

✨ PhD thesis submitted! ✨

Had an excellent morning in Cambridge talking about trauma in the Hebrew Bible with a fantastic group of people. Session included Job, Lamentations, and plenty of conversation on how the Bible can (and cannot!) be a resource for traumatised individuals. Thanks for inviting me, @karenod.bsky.social!
