The Trauma of Doctrine is a theological investigation into the effects of abuse trauma upon the experience of Christian faith, the psychological mechanics of these effects, their resonances with Christian Scripture, and neglected research-informed strategies for cultivating post-traumatic resilience. Paul Maxwell examines the effect that the Calvinist belief can have upon the traumatized Christian who negatively internalizes its superlative doctrines of divine control and human moral corruption, and charts a way toward meaningful spiritual recovery.

Paul Maxwell has brought the topics of trauma and doctrine together in a masterful fashion. Here we encounter a deep understanding of the meaning and function of trauma along with an engagement with the ways Christian beliefs can either thwart or facilitate a path to wholeness. This book is truly unique, informative, and helpful. The insights and the constructive proposal for the church is not merely interesting but sorely needed. The deep dive is well worth it.
