Jeff B. Pool is Associate Professor of Religion, College Chaplain, and Director of the Campus Christian Center, Berea College, Berea, Kentucky.
"In this second of his three-volume phenomenological-hermeneutic of the Cristian symbol of divine suffering, Pool (religion, Berea College, Kentucky) develops an exposition of what he has described as the first two wounds of God - divine grief and divine self-sacrifice. For the first, he discusses infidelity of the beloved human, sorrow of the betrayed divine lover, and anguish of the betrayed divine lover. For the second, he discusses the misery of the beloved human's infidelity, travail of the betrayed divine lover's fidelity, and agony of the betrayed divine lover's fidelity. The other two volumes of God's Wounds cover divine vulnerability and creation, and divine suffering and tragic reality." Book News Inc,Reference - Research Book News - October 2011
