This article offers a theological account of traumatic memory in order to assert that memories have a profound impact upon the eschatological self. It develops this argument first by drawing on resources from trauma theory and feminist philosophy to explain the nature and function of memory. It then explores what is at stake in theological constructions that advocate for the erasure of memory in the eschaton—such as the one advocated for by Miroslav Volf—suggesting that such proposals are theologically tenuous and also inflict injustice upon survivors of sexual trauma. In the final section, it explores Marilyn McCord Adams’s understanding of how God responds to horrendous evils in order to offer an alternative eschatological vision of the self.

记住天堂里的强奸：对记忆和末世自我的建设性建议

这篇文章提供了创伤记忆的神学解释，以断言记忆对末世自我有深远的影响。它首先通过利用创伤理论和女权主义哲学的资源来解释记忆的性质和功能来发展这一论点。然后，它探讨了主张在末世中擦除记忆的神学结构中的利害关系——例如米罗斯拉夫沃尔夫所倡导的那个——表明这些建议在神学上是脆弱的，也会对性创伤的幸存者造成不公正。在最后一部分，它探讨了玛丽莲·麦考德·亚当斯对上帝如何应对可怕的邪恶的理解，以提供另一种关于自我的末世观。
