Summary Beyond their physical and emotional toll, the horrors of this world raise difficult theological and existential questions. Where is God in the darkest moments of the human experience? Is there any hope for recovery from the trauma generated by these horrors? There are no easy answers to these questions. In "God of All Comfort", Scott Harrower addresses these questions head on. Using the Gospel of Matthew as a backdrop, he argues for a trinitarian approach to horrors, showing how God - in all His triune nature - reveals Himself to those who have experienced trauma. He explores the many ways God relates restoratively with humanity, showing how God's light shines through the darkness of trauma.
