Examples of sexual violence and mentions of it appear with a
disturbing level of frequency in the literature of early
Christianity. This collection of essays explores these occurrences
in canonical and noncanonical Christian texts from the first until
the fifth centuries CE. Drawing from a range of interpretive
lenses, scholars of early Christianity approach these writings with
the goal of identifying how their authors employ the language of
sexual assault, rape, and violence in order to formulate and
support various rhetorical and theological claims. Individual
chapters also address how and why these episodes of sexual violence
have been ignored or, sometimes, read in a way that would make them
less problematic. As a collection, Sex, Violence, and Early
Christian Texts examines these texts carefully, ethically, and with
an eye toward shining a light on the scourge of sexual violence
that is so often manifest in both ancient and contemporary
Christian communities.
