Original Trauma: The Story of Inherited Generational Trauma in the Bible (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798988239512)

You are not alone. The story of your inherited trauma is woven into the very fabric of the Bible.

Do you wrestle with an impression of a distant or angry God? Do unhelpful patterns of anxiety, fear, or depression echo through your family history? These experiences may be the legacy of a phenomenon the biblical authors observed centuries before modern psychology: inherited generational trauma.

Original Trauma takes you on a compelling journey through the overlooked theme of inherited trauma within Scripture, linking ancient narratives to contemporary understandings of mental health and faith. Drawing on psychological literature and a deep reevaluation of biblical texts, author Ramon K. Jusino, who holds a Master's in Theology and taught for 25 years, provides a fresh perspective on how the fear-inducing portrayals of God in the Abrahamic traditions have perpetuated cycles of anxiety and violence throughout history.

This thought-provoking book explores:

• How biblical authors recognized the "sins of the fathers passed down to the third and fourth generation."
• The argument that the Gospel of Jesus directly addresses and attempts to end this vicious cycle of trauma.
• How to confront and reframe inherited beliefs to break the cycle and find healing in your own understanding of yourself and the divine.

Original Trauma serves as both a mirror and a guide, offering clarity and a path toward healing for readers-whether religious or secular-interested in psychology, theology, or personal growth. Discover the surprising message of hope and the potential for a new vision of faith and healing within its pages.
