Sacrifice Lost is a groundbreaking examination of how traditional narratives of Jesus’s crucifixion have facilitated and enabled systemic abuse within the Church. Through rigorous scholarship and compassionate storytelling, Theuring argues that inherited narratives of sacrificial violence have perpetuated harm against survivors of clergy-perpetrated sexual abuse. In Sacrifice Lost, Theuring centers survivors’ voices and stories, reimagining Christ’s death and resurrection through critical theological reflections for our time. This is a crucial wake-up call and guide for Christians to connect trauma, moral injuries, theology, and healing. Theuring imagines and offers a courageous path toward a more compassionate, inclusive, and just Church, reframing the cross as a symbol of radical love over violence and oppression.
