5.0 out of 5 stars THE go-to reference for Lamentations
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2018

Kathleen does an excellent job of analysis and translation with what quite possibly is the most in depth and insightful look in Lamentations. Lamentations is an often overlooked OT book but it is so rich in how to deal with grief, pain and suffering. Kathleen did a wonderful job bringing all the richness of this book out and available to today's readers. I have a whole new outlook on Lamentations!

My first look into Lamentations. Helped me see the big picture of this short book. Well written, concise and to the point. O'Connor also makes some great present day interpretations and comparisons, that really brings Lamentations to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2011
As a Christian studying trauma and recovery there seem to be few mainstream theologies that can hold the depth of pain and death that survivors of trauma experience, which is needed for true healing to happen. Through O'Connors work on Lamentations we now have a picture of who God is and where God is in the midst of suffering. We see a God that values human experience and honors our suffering as sacred space. We are commissioned as the church to look at our own suffering so we can therefore be a witness for the suffering of others, and in that mutually find life. She weaves together thoughtful, intelligent Biblical scholarship with sound psychological understanding (referencing Dr. Judith Herman, leader in the field of trauma recovery)and a healthy, honest, unapologetic view on what it means to be human. To this end I am so grateful.
