Bearing the Weight

By: Smith, G. C.

Drawing on Scripture, Reformed theology, pastoral experience, and contemporary research, G. C. Smith examines how moral injury affects clergy, public servants, caregivers, disaster responders, and congregations. Rather than offering simplistic answers, the book invites readers into an honest engagement with sin, grace, lament, justice, repentance, and hope.

The central claim is that the Reformed tradition--with its emphasis on God's sovereignty, covenant faithfulness, truthful confession, and the renewal of all things--provides profound resources for understanding moral injury and pursuing faithful repair. Written for pastors, scholars, seminarians, and thoughtful Christians, this volume offers a practical and theologically grounded framework for bearing moral weight with integrity while remaining rooted in the hope of the gospel.
