As a 30+ year veteran of urban ministry I needed this book! Through the frustration, failures and fatigue that have hounded me I have more and more found solace in the "weeping prophet," Jeremiah. Especially having recently realized that he did not go to Babylon with the more able-bodied Jews but chose to stay with the poor and destitute ones in the homeland, providing us with a rich resource for engaging in authentic lament that leads to hope. As I think about the past 3 decades I can see that during the first one I was all about "living incarnationally among the poor" until personal failure shook me to the core. The second decade, then, I committed myself to learning how to let the poor lead until division and bitterness left us all with little hope. Since 2000, it has been a slow winnowing away of my white, male, upper middle-class privilege that has tried to teach me the way of Jesus. 15 years on it is taking a bit longer than a decade but this book helped me to take a significant step forward. Not sure what the future years and decades hold but together with the common history of those "at the bottom," I'll take whatever comes while trying my best to survive.
I veer wildly between an honest concern about too much focus on the bad in the world (there is far more good than what is often credited) and a frustration about the lack of concern about the harm that is being ignored by many. I think many more people need to read Bradley Wright’s book Upside about how much about the world has drastically improved recently.But at the same time I am concerned that many have far too little concern about systemic issues of oppression. Black Lives Matters (whether the broader movement or the organization), systemic problems of the criminal justice system, a rise of nativism or xenophobia, continuing revelations about ongoing racism, sexism, and other bias that impacts real people on a regular and ongoing basis, matters.And so I picked up Prophetic Lament when I was frustrated with the inability for the Evangelical church in particular (but the larger church as well) to actually embrace lament. Christian Music that is ‘safe for the whole family’ and Christian fiction that seems to only be able to tell happy tales with tidy endings is not particularly faithful example of historic Christian artistry. It is not that we cannot be happy or that we should not consume tidy books or safe music. It is that we should not only consume safe music and tidy books.The world is not tidy or ‘safe for the whole family’ and neither is scripture. Scripture is decidedly R rated if you don’t skip over hard passages. About 40% of the Psalms (which has historically been the prayer and songbook of the church) are psalms of Lament. A study of hymn books in 2012 found that no hymnbook even hit 20% of its songs as lament.Soong-Chan Rah explicates the book of Lamentations well. He hits not only the themes and particulars of the five chapters, but relates it to the areas that our modern American church should be lamenting about. I think some will complain that Soong-Chan Rah gets too particular about areas of lamentation. That could be, but it is better to be too specific than not specific enough. Unspecific lamentation is not real lamentation.The case is also well made that lamentation is an essential part of historic Christian faith. Faith that is only happy is gnostic or otherwise dis-embodied. Jesus wept real tears. Paul was in real chains. John was exiled to a real and specific place. Stephen was actually killed. Lamentation is part of what we should be feeling in the fact of not only the widespread injustice of the world, but the every day general living and dying that we all participate in. People around us get sick and die. They have miscarriages and lose jobs. They have a marriages that fall apart and children that stray from the good path.If we are unable to lament with those that lament, then we are not fully entering into their lives. Prophetic Lament puts good words to that biblical call and biblical example.My only real complaint, and it is not much of one, is that I wish the actual text of Prophetic Lament included the whole book of Lamentations as he was discussing the book. I think it would have forced more conversation with the actual book of scripture. It is very possible to read this book without reading the actual book of Laminations.
Rah unpacks the Biblical book of Lamentations in a way that brought it alive and made it timely to me. He gets down to the nitty gritty of chapter and verse in historical context and present validity and importance. He advocates not for the personal lament of individual suffering situated in one's own life, but the corporate lament, personally expressed, that voices the deep connection with those who suffer, particularly from injustice. For a culture that wants to move quickly through grief, or thinks suffering is something to be medicated, and for many churches who have left lament out of their worship and their prayers, this book can be a healing balm. Since reading it, I have gone back to the Book of Lamentations and read different Biblical versions of it. Frankly, it has helped me through this very time in America.
“By rejecting these two key temptations (withdrawal and denial), the acceptable alternative becomes lament†(43).In a triumphalistic saturated church culture, where victory-language is all that we consume and spew, the act and discipline of lament are ‘swept under the rug.’ But this should not be so! Walking through the Book of Lamentations, Dr. Soong-chan Rah revitalizes a desperately needed exercise of deep-seated faith in God. Perhaps, American churches have far too quickly and exclusively clung to the triumphant talk and walk of the Resurrection without mulling over the horrors of the Crucifixion and Holy Saturday. This imbalanced fixation both reflects our insecurities of vulnerable expressions and produces contactless lifestyles. Lament hears ‘the blood crying out from the ground’ in history and from the wounded, experiences relentless grief, revisits grief, and cries out for God to remember his beloved ones. Lament is not proposed to solve problems but to audience with the one who sees and hears and embraces.cf. [...]
Many helpful insights into Lamentations. Also many challenging assessments of contemporary race relations. However, the connections between the insights into Lamentations and the applications to contemporary race relations were quite confusing. It was rarely clear how the application came from the text.
A lot of truth - worthy of thoughtful reading and discussion. Working through this book with a small group is particularly helpful - I read it with a book club. Ideas apply at individual, congregational, community and national levels - even in other (western?) nations that bias toward praise and success while downplaying suffering. One improvement to suggest: there are some repetitive sections. So if you think "this is a repetition" - skip/skim a paragraph or two and look for a new thought.
