The experience of reproductive loss raises a series of profoundly
theological questions: how can God have a plan for my life? Why
didn’t God answer my prayers? How can I have hope after such an
experience? Who am I after such a loss? Sadly, these are questions
that, along with reproductive loss, have largely been ignored in
theology. Karen O’Donnell tackles these questions head on, drawing
on her own experiences of repeated reproductive loss as she
re-conceives theology from the perspective of the miscarrying
person.Offering a fresh, original, and creative approach to theology,
O’Donnell explores the complexity of the miscarrying body and its
potential for theological revelation. She offers a re-conception of
theologies of providence, prayer, hope, and the body as she reimagines
theology out of these messy origins.This book is for those who have
experiences such losses and those who minister to them. But it is also
for all those who want to encounter a creative and imaginative
approach to theology and the life of faith in our messy, complex
world.
