'Authority and rigour ... great generosity and gentleness. The
authors diagnose a critical problem in the church and offer
practical advice on how to fix it.' Andrew Graystone, theologian,
broadcaster and communications consultant 'Every time he wanted me
to do something, he would quote scripture... I couldn't argue with
scripture, it was like arguing with God.' The term 'spiritual
abuse' is widely used across the Christian community. But what is
it? Sometimes spiritual abuse involves leaders misusing their
position, but ministers can also be the victims. Common factors
include control through misuse of scripture, claims to divine
authority, pressure to conform, and enforced accountability.
Individuals may be isolated, and compelled to secrecy and silence.
Drawing on a combination of extensive research, individual
testimonies, and years of hands-on experience, Lisa Oakley and
Justin Humphreys describe clearly the nature of spiritual abuse,
and the best ways of countering it. Recovery is possible. But - how
do we prevent spiritual abuse in the first place? What can leaders
do to create safer places? Is there a link between theological
ideas and harmful behaviours? How can leaders create opportunities
for spiritual and emotional flourishing? Dr Lisa Oakley has
researched spiritual abuse in the Christian faith in the UK since
2003. Justin Humphreys is chief executive of the safeguarding
charity thirtyone: eight.
