This book explores the Bible's ongoing relevance in contemporary
discussions around rape culture and gender violence. Each chapter
considers the ways that biblical texts and themes engage with
various forms of gender violence, including the subjective,
physical violence of rape, the symbolic violence of misogynistic
and heteronormative discourses, and the structural violence of
patriarchal power systems. The authors within this volume attempt
to name (and shame) the multiple forms of gender violence present
within the biblical traditions, contesting the erasure of this
violence within both the biblical texts themselves and their
interpretive traditions. They also consider the complex connections
between biblical gender violence and the perpetuation and
validation of rape culture in contemporary popular culture. This
volume invites new and ongoing conversations about the Bible's
complicity in rape-supportive cultures and practices, challenging
readers to read these texts in light of the global crisis of gender
violence.
