Domestic violence is a significant threat to women's survival. But
Christian understandings of marriage often prevent women from
resisting abusive relationships. Can the Church's teaching on
marriage be reshaped so that it helps women to survive, rather than
encourage them to submit to their husband, bear their cross, or
sacrifice themselves for the sake of their marriage? Focusing on
everyday practices of marriage in two very different contexts:
Argentina and England, Reimagining Theologies of Marriage in
Contexts of Domestic Violence considers how Christian
understandings of marriage as a covenant or sacrament relate to the
lived experience of marriage. Drawing on Augustine's notion of the
goods of marriage, and on belief in the saving power of marriage,
this book suggests that only when the wellbeing of bodies is
central to a marriage can it have the power to save.
