| Summary: | Abstract This article argues that an ethnographic method informed by a sacramental worldview and guided by the ethical imperative of the preferential option for the poor can give theologians a fundamental tool to access revelation found in our everyday lives. This article begins with a case study investigating the presence of God in the midst of suffering among a community of domestic violence survivors. Then, this article argues that the Divine presence found through this case study can be theologically investigated through an ethnographic methodology informed by a sacramental worldview and the preferential option for the poor. Finally, to embody this proposed methodology and its radical potential, this article brings the narratives of the domestic violence survivors into critical dialogue with the Markan ‘Empty Tomb’ tradition, to uncover a renewed sense of God’s presence in the ‘Empty Tomb.’ |
