Violence, forgiveness, and healing
Domestic violence is a widespread, though largely invisible,
problem, often exacerbated by the pastoral urge to "keep the family
together" at all costs. Yet if that is not a solution, how should
the church relate to batterers?
"I believe that the Christian community, if it is to be
genuinely a community of healing and hope, must attend to both the
victims and the perpetrators of domestic violence", says David
Livingston. Addressing the complex phenomenon of intimate violence
against wives, lovers, and children, Livingston profiles batterers
and battering and traces it to larger cultural pathologies. He
explores the ambiguous role of religion and then offers practical
advice of pastoral and programmatic efforts to embrace
simultaneously the twin Christian imperatives of forgiveness and
responsibility.
