| Summary: | How do we witness, theologically, to trauma and its aftermath? Beginning with the stories of ministers rebuilding their communities in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, I introduce Holy Saturday as a theological site from which to think about the tenuous “middle” experience of living on in the aftermath of death without having the assurance of life ahead. Drawing on insights in trauma theory, I examine the final passages in the Gospel of John and suggest that looking through the lens of the “middle” unearths a unique theology of the Spirit that speaks powerfully to the realities of trauma and its aftermath. |
