Biblical and Theological Visions of Resilience Pastoral and Clinical Insights

"What does theology have to do with resilience? In this collection of essays, White and Cook have brought together an insightful and thought provoking collection of responses from within the Christian tradition. The answers that emerge challenge some assumptions within the social sciences and have wide relevance for pastoral and clinical practice. This is a very welcome and needed addition to the burgeoning field of resilience studies."

"How best to cope with life's difficulties - how to be resilient - is a question of perennial importance, which is perhaps particularly pressing today. These wide-ranging essays open up fresh and life-giving perspectives on the issue."

Walter Moberly, Professor of Theology and Biblical Interpretation, Department of Theology and Religion, Durham University, UK
