    Liberating Our Imaginations demonstrates the possibilities for liberation produced by reading biblical texts alongside works of contemporary literature by minoritized authors. While contemporary examples of oppression are not identical, the process of reading ancient and contemporary texts together can nonetheless open up imaginative and liberative interpretations of biblical t...

  • Once Upon a Time There Was a Three-Year-Old Grandpa
    David Janzen
    This eccentric title recalls a collection of tales first told to grandchildren at bedtime.

These anecdotes each launch a theme that splashes down with further development in later decades of life. Diverse topi...

  • Seven Radical Elders

  • Trauma and the Failure of History
    David Janzen
    David Janzen blends history theory and trauma theory to apply them to the books of Kings and Lamentations. Janzen argues that Kings tells a story that explains the horrific events of the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem, but Lamentations reflects the perspective of trauma survivors and rejects any explanatory narrative refusing to let the trauma be part of a past.

  • Chronicles and the Politics of Davidic Restoration
    David Janzen
    David Janzen argues that the Book of Chronicles is a document with a political message as well as a theological one and moreover, that the book’s politics explain its theology. The author of Chronicles was part of a 4th century B.C.E. group within the post-exilic Judean community that hoped to see the Davidides restored to power, and he or she composed this work to promote a re...

  • The Violent Gift
    David Janzen
    The Violent Gift traces the narrative of the exilic author of the Deuteronomistic History, a narrative that provides an explanation for the trauma that the Judean community in Babylon suffered. As the book follows this explanation through the History, however, it also reads Dtr through the lens of trauma theory. Massive psychic trauma is not something that can be captured withi...

  • Intentional Christian Community Handbook
    David Janzen
    "This is a book that we've needed for a long, long time . . . . This is a book for people who long for community and for people who've found it; for young seekers and for old radicals. Like a farmer's almanac or a good cookbook, it's a guide that doesn't tell you what to do, but rather gives you the resources you need to find your way together with friends i...
