Witnessing a Wounded World - Timothy Middleton A crucial intervention at the intersection of ecotheology and trauma theology We are in the midst of a global ecological crisis. At times, the scale of the suffering involved can be hard to fully comp...

If you're interested in theology, environmental studies, Christian ethics or how faith can speak in the ecological crisis, this book is well worth a look! ➡️ fordhampress.com/witnessing-a...

Congratulations to Tim on this important contribution, which evolved from his doctoral thesis! 👏

He analyses three 'ruptures' in ecological crisis: rupture of communication, of flesh, and of time. As the first sustained treatment of 'ecological trauma' addressed in this way, Tim's book offers fresh insight into how faith, suffering and ecology intersect.

In the book, Tim explores how ecological degradation and climate crisis realities can be fruitfully understood through the lens of trauma theology, asking what it means to view the Earth itself as traumatised 🌍

Book cover of Witnessing a Wounded World: A Theology of Ecological Trauma by Timothy A. Middleton. The cover features a monochrome reddish-brown illustration of a man crouching beside a cracked road, touching the fissure, with a car parked nearby and a woman sitting inside. Behind them rises a steep rock face marked by a large vertical crack. The title and author’s name appear above and below in bold type on a cream background.

📙 We're pleased to share the news that Regent's own Dr Tim Middleton, Tutorial Fellow in Theology, will tomorrow publish a new book: 'Witnessing a Wounded World: A Theology of Ecological Trauma' with Fordham University Press.
