Product Description

Lament, so prominent in the Christian canon, is neglected in the public worship and witness of most North American congregations. These essays by Princeton Theological Seminary faculty attest to the diverse ways in which lament is understood and practiced, and they invite their recovery in all elements of the church’s ministry. Contributors are Charles Bartow, Clifton Black, Brian Blount, Sally Brown, Donald Capps, Ellen Charry, Nancy Duff, Robert Dykstra, Richard Fenn, Nancy Lammers Gross, William Stacy Johnson, Patrick Miller, Luis Rivera-Pagan, and Peter Paris.
