Review: Unknowing God: Towards a Post-Abusive Theology

I recently completed the Church of England’s safeguarding training – mandatory for me as a Parochial Church Council member. The training was rigorous but something felt missing. This book identifies that gap: it is the failure to understand how theology can harm. The Church has failed to explore how its theology is a contributor to abuse, instead falling into the easy assumption that church life was just a coincidental backdrop. It is frustrating to see this opportunity being missed.
