Sarah’s Laughter

by Ramachandra, Vinoth

Ramachandra draws on his distinctive positioning as a Sri Lankan Christian theologian – having lived and ministered in contexts shaped by the destruction of natural disasters and the violence of human evil – to confront the intellectual, moral, and political challenges posed to faith in our increasingly broken world. Sharing his own ongoing journey with suffering and a questing faith, Ramachandra reminds us that lament and joy, faith and protest, clarity and ambiguity, belong together in faithful Christian discipleship.
