Englewood Review of Books Best Books of 2015, Theology When Soong-Chan Rah planted an urban church in Cambridge, Massachusetts, his first full sermon series was once a six-week exposition of the book of Lamentations. Preaching on an difficult to understand, depressing Old Testament book was once more than likely not the most seeker-sensitive way to launch a church. Nevertheless it shaped their community with a radically countercultural point of view. The American church avoids lament. But lament is a missing, Crucial component of Christian faith. Lament recognizes struggles and suffering, that the world isn’t as it ought to be. Lament challenges the established order and cries out for justice against existing injustices. Soong-Chan Rah’s prophetic exposition of the book of Lamentations provides a biblical and theological lens for examining the church’s relationship with a suffering world. It critiques our success-centered triumphalism and calls us to repent of our hubris. And it opens up new how one can encounter the other. Hear the prophet’s lament as the vital corrective for Christianity’s future. A Resonate exposition of the book of Lamentations.
