Theological conversations about violence have typically framed the
discussion in terms of victim and perpetrator. Such work, while
important, only addresses part of the problem. Comprehensive
theological and pastoral responses to violence must also address
the role of collective passivity in the face of human denigration.
Given the pervasiveness of inaction-whether in the form of denial,
willful ignorance, or silent complicity-a theological reflection on
violence that holds bystanders accountable, especially those who
occupy social sites of privilege, is long overdue. In Beyond
Apathy, Elisabeth T. Vasko utilizes resources within the Christian
tradition to examine the theological significance of bystander
participation in patterns of violence and violation within
contemporary Western culture, giving particular attention to the
social issues of bullying, white racism, and sexual violence. In
doing so, she constructs a theology of redeeming grace for
bystanders to violence that foregrounds the significance of social
action in bringing about God's basileia.
