Biblical studies is increasingly interdisciplinary and frequently
focuses on how the Bible is read, received, and represented in the
contemporary world, including in politics, news media, and popular
culture. Rape Myths, the Bible and #MeToo illustrates this with
particular and critical assessment of #MeToo and its rapid and
global impact. Rape myths - in particular the myth that rape
victims are complicit in the violence they encounter, which
consequently renders sexual violence 'not so bad' - are examined
both with regard to current backlash to #MeToo and to biblical
texts that undermine the violence perpetrated by rape. This
includes aggressive media attacks on the accusers of powerful men,
as well as depictions of biblical rape victims such as Dinah
(Genesis 34), Bathsheba, and Tamar (2 Samuel 11-13). Biblical
studies channels and expresses wider cultural and political
manifestations. This exemplifies that the influence of ancient
texts is abiding and the study of the past cutting edge.
