The Beatitudes After Betrayal reclaims Jesus' most familiar words for those who have been wounded by the very places where they expected goodness, justice, or faithfulness. In a world marked by moral injury--where trust is broken, institutions fail, and people are left carrying the weight of what should never have happened--traditional readings of the Beatitudes can feel distant or even hollow. This book argues that the Beatitudes are not gentle ideals for the spiritually comfortable but hard-won blessings spoken directly into the lives of the betrayed, the disillusioned, and the morally wounded. Each blessing becomes a lens through which to understand grief, anger, loss of trust, and the struggle to remain human in the aftermath of rupture. The purpose of this book is to offer a theological and pastoral framework for those navigating moral injury, helping readers name their experience without minimizing it. Its central claim is that Jesus' words do not bypass suffering--they meet people within it, offering not easy answers but a way to endure, to resist despair, and, ultimately, to live with integrity again.
