Beskrivning
A theologically rich and pastorally grounded exploration of how art becomes a language of healing, resistance, and hope behind prison walls.Authored by a pastor with extensive experience in both military and correctional chaplaincy, this rigorous and illuminating study offers a theologically grounded examination of the ways incarcerated individuals employ artistic practice to negotiate trauma and imagine new possibilities for hope. Engaging personal narratives, constructive theological frameworks, and insights drawn from the author’s own chaplaincy work, the book presents art as a sacred mode of discourse—a theopoetic practice that mediates healing, agency, and resistance. Situated within Christian theology, informed by contemporary trauma theory, and attentive to the substantial institutional constraints that shape carceral ministry, the work demonstrates how chaplains and other caregivers can cultivate conditions in which aesthetic encounter becomes a catalyst for spiritual transformation and communal well‑being.

Recensioner i media

“A model of the integration of theory and practice, contemplation and action. Revd. Parry brings aesthetics into conversation with trauma studies, sociology and theology, not in the rarified air of the ivory tower, but in the noisy, ugly, brutalizing environment of American prisons, and in the company of those who live, and struggle to find meaning and even healing there.  This book combines clarity, wisdom, experience, compassion, practical guidance and, perhaps most importantly, hope in the presence of the Holy in the darkest places.”
