Trauma-informed biblical scholarship typically views certain biblical texts as providing insight, even therapeutic value, for individuals experiencing trauma. Less often, however, do scholars engage with the multivalent nature of interpretations of texts that emerge out of trauma (trauma texts): the interpretation of a given trauma-informed text can be helpful to a particular community or individual but harmful to others. This project will engage with this multivalent nature using the sociological theory of cultural trauma. Specifically, the project will address 1) How can applying cultural trauma theory to a collection of texts illuminate Judean identity and ideologies that emerged from Exile? And 2) How can cultural trauma theory shed light on the appeal of exilic and postexilic texts to Afrikaner nationalists in the early 20th century? Following a comprehensive overview of trauma theory, particularly cultural trauma theory, I present my case in two parts structured around my focus questions. Part One delves into the nature and themes of the Exilic trauma process, discussing the two main identity-defining themes that appear to have emerged from it. The first, Exilic Election, is explored through illustrative focus texts such as Jer 24 and Exod 34:11-16. The second theme, reimagining the past, is demonstrated through an analysis of Ezek 20, Ezra 9, and Neh 13, texts that project post-exilic concerns onto pre-exilic generations. Part Two consists of a broad study of Afrikaner cultural memory and the trauma process around the conflict known as the South African War. This discussion leads to a consideration of both direct and indirect overlaps between the Exilic trauma process and that of the Afrikaners. In the conclusion, I reflect on the interpretation of trauma-forged texts, particularly in biblical scholarship. I also attempt a nuanced discussion of the ways in which trauma-forged texts can and have been used for harm within particular communities.
