Scribblings from Solitude: Writings from 2021

By Jeff Hood

Scribblings from Solitude: Writings from 2021 invites readers into the raw, unflinching mind of Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood-a radical theologian, activist, and prophetic voice confronting the darkness and light of a tumultuous year.

Spanning January to December 2021, this collection of essays, meditations, and theological provocations emerges from a season of isolation and intense reflection. Hood wrestles with nonconsensual touching in schools, vaccine ethics, police violence, the resurrection of George Floyd as incarnation, abolitionist love, queer faith, the crosses of liberation, and the embodiment of Christmas amid suffering. From the self-immolation of Rev. Charles Moore to critiques of missions, racism, and dehumanizing slogans, these writings refuse easy answers, blending mysticism, heresy, and fierce compassion.

Part of The Collected Writings of Jeff Hood series, this volume captures a theologian who dares to see Christ in the marginalized, the condemned, and the forgotten-calling readers to embody love in a world of tragedy and resistance. Whether exploring eschatology in perilous times or envisioning a heaven without hell, Hood's voice is unapologetically bold, deeply personal, and relentlessly hopeful.
