DESCRIPTION:
Stephanie M. . Crumpton is Assistant Professor of Practial Theology at Lancaster Theological Seminary, USA. She is a member of the Society for Pastoral Theology and an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ denomination
Narratives provide an ethnographic snapshot of this violence, while raising concerns over whether or not existing paradigms for pastoral care and counseling are congruent with how many Black women approach healing.. This book is about Black women's search for relationships and encounters that support healing from intimate and cultural violence
Grounded in the real life narratives of Black women, this book provides tools for healing and the care of persons individually and communally." - Emmanuel Y. Her selective appropriation of psychoanalytic theories in the service of expanding the field's attention to culture and the dynamics of interpersonal and cultural forms of violence is a work very much needed. I am excited that A Womanist Pastoral Theology Against Intimate and Cultural Violence will be available for classes in pastoral theology but also for classes preparing pastoral counselors. Crumpton gives an excellent analysis of how these horizons create vulnerability for Black women facing violence. She courageously engages in an intricate weaving of historic social and cultural studies, psychological analysis, and womanist theology, in confronting the endemic and pervasive issue of violence against wome
Nontombi Tutu said A powerful and empowering read.. This book powerfully and sympathetically recounts the life stories, and lessons learned, of a diverse group of women. The role that the the church played both as a source of support and a site of the abuse makes this an important resource for anyone looking to pastor to women who have been victims of abuse. The emphasis on giving voice and power to these women who are so often silenced makes this also an empowering read for those who have been victims of abuse. Crumpton's focuses on healing and offers a model for healing that places the concerns of the wome. Must Read for Black Women in Pastoral Counseling Ministry sscrain Definitely a required read for any womanist theologian with a heart for practical ministry. Well done. It's expensive but worth it overall.
