Product Description

The 2008 Symposium (number 43) "Lamentations in Ancient and Contemporary Cultural Contexts" edited by Nancy C. Lee and Carleen Mandolfo and published by the Society of Biblical Literature is a most welcome and excellent collection of essays. In toto, the book summarizes and interprets the work done thus far, explores cross cultural forms of lament and then seeks to apply the learning to modern day tragedy for theological and pastoral purposes. What we learn is that laments are a near universal and timeless human response to great tragedy and suffering. As expressions of raw pain, alienation and despair, they serve to articulate to the community and (in the case of the Judeo-Christian tradition) to God the unspeakable and in various ways serve to bind, heal and renew even when hope seems lost.
