- W1427444982 abstract "With Joyful Acceptance, Maybe: Developing a Contemporary Theology of Suffering in Conversation with Five Christian Thinkers: Gregory Great, Julian of Norwich, Jeremy Taylor, C. S. Lewis, and Ivone Gebara. By Molly Field James. Eugene, Ore.: Wipf & Stock, 2012. xiii + 213 pp. $28.00 (paper).Molly Field James is an Episcopal priest and professor who teaches ethics and pastoral care at Hartford Seminary and University of St. Joseph. With Joyful Acceptance, Maybe is her first book-length publication. James's contemporaiy theology of suffering is influenced by her professional experience as a hospital chaplain and parish priest, as well as her personal experience as a cancer survivor.James's book offers a typology of theological responses to grief and suffering, drawing on work of Gregory Great, Julian of Norwich, Jeremy Taylor, C.

In chapter 1, James then introduces Gregory Great and his handbook on pastoral care. For Gregory, Christians should greet all suffering as a gift from God that pushes one to engage in reflection, repentance, and amendment of life (p. 26). The next chapter discusses Revelations of Julian of Norwich, who views experience of suffering as a primarily good thing because it is the path to reward of blissful union with God in Christ (p. 73). James then reviews work of seventeenth-century divine Jeremy Taylor. In his manual Holy Living and Dying, Taylor suggests that suffering should be embraced as an opportunity to live a more holy through practice of patient forbearance, looking to reward of eternal (p. …" @default.
