Until at Dawn We Wake (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781964252247)

Are schizophrenia and related psychotic illnesses forms of neurodivergence, and what difference does it make for our doctrine of creation? What does it mean for the modern disability rights and feminist movements that the largest psychiatric facilities in North America are prisons, and how should this fact shape our understanding of sin and damnation? What can paranoid delusions tell us about the nature of faith and revelation? How might our theology be shaped by the ongoing abuse crisis plaguing Christian churches, in which 2SLGBTQ+ people are far more likely to be victimized than their non-queer peers? Until At Dawn We Wake explores these and other questions through a combination of tenacious reporting, critical analysis of cultural objects, and personal reflection, all while reexamining three of the centering points of Christian theology-creation, sin, and redemption. Written with an urgency born of the author's personal experience grappling with the subjects she engages, this book breaks novel ground in such areas as disability theory, anti-carceral politics, and feminism.
