| Summary: | In this paper a theology of vulnerability is explored by describing three bridges between risk and tragedy. Conceptually, ontological and situational vulnerability will be explored as the basis of anthropological realism.

The theological bridge unfolds a theological approach to vulnerability that grasps its processive character. |
