Tiffany Kriner joins Claude Atcho in persevering with the exploration of the fruits of the Spirit. This week’s collection of LaRose by Louise Erdrich focuses on Peace. The novel opens with a horrific accident that sends two carefully associated households and a whole group right into a deep spiral of trauma. Progressing via the novel, the reader is confronted with a query: Can a group, a household, get better from deep-seated trauma?

Info on Tiffany Eberle Kriner, Ph.D.
I imagine that texts have a spot and a future within the Kingdom of God. In my scholarly e-book The Way forward for the Phrase: An Eschatology of Literature, I have a look at the intricate methods God makes significant futures for literary texts towards the group of the brand new creation within the Kingdom of God—and the way God welcomes us to participate within the constructing of the texts and the group. I take part within the Kingdom of God via my work at Wheaton: constructing texts and communities. I notably deal with intersections of theology, place, and race inside literature.
