Episode #213 - Trauma & The Hebrew Bible with Dr. Alexiana Fry The Two Cities

    • Christianity

CW: sexual assault, forced migration, intimate partner violence.
Dr. Alexiana Fry is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen and the author of Trauma Talks in the Hebrew Bible.
In this episode, we talk about how she began working on this topic as well as several different texts that have or could be read in light of trauma (e.g., Judges 19; Lamentations). She offers helpful complications for thinking about these difficulties in ways that are attentive to our own experiences. We also talk about forced migration and how the interpretations of significant events construct our collective memory.
Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. Brandon Hurlbert, Dr. Madison Pierce, and Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Warne.
Series Disclaimer: This series explores the concept of “trauma,” its sources, and its expressions from a range of perspectives. Some of our guests are licensed mental health professionals; some are those with formative experiences of trauma; and others are those who explore trauma through various theoretical frameworks. We hope that this series provides useful information to all that enables them to begin to be trauma-informed and to love others and themselves better. Our series is by no means meant to replace the important work of one-on-one time with a trauma-informed professional.
