Synopsis
The Wounded Word is a contemplative reading of the passages in the Bible that most trouble sincere readers: the divine hardening of Pharaoh, the lying spirit sent against Ahab, the testing of Job, the binding of Isaac and the burning of Jephthah's daughter, the wars of conquest and the imprecatory psalms, the bears of Bethel and the sudden deaths in the early church, the statutes that were not good, and the graves that opened at the cross. Drawing on the wide stream of Christian mysticism, from Origen and the Syriac fathers to the Rhineland preachers, the Spanish Carmelites, and the anonymous English contemplatives, and reaching across confessional lines in a spirit that is spiritual before it is denominational, the book offers not quick apologetic patches but a way of reading that can carry a seeker through the darkest pages without either denial or despair. It is written for the believer who loves the Scripture and has been stopped at its threshold, for the doubter who suspects the faith cannot survive an honest look at its hardest texts, and for any reader drawn to the contemplative tradition's conviction that the passage which wounds the heart is often the one that finally opens it. Readers will come away not with every difficulty dissolved, but with the disciplines by which the tradition has met such difficulties for two thousand years, and with a larger and more trustworthy vision of the God the hard passages, rightly read, disclose.
