Rape Culture and the Bible: Scholars Reflect offers
readers the opportunity to hear from prominent and influential biblical
scholars and scholar activists as they reflect on their work on sexual
violence vis-a-vis the Bible. This book covers major points of inquiry
in the field, focusing primarily on the Hebrew Bible and the New
Testament. It explores debates on appropriate terminology;
intersectionality of sexual violence, gender, and race; how survivor
perspectives inform the reading of violent texts; male-on-male
sexualized violence in biblical literature; and the connections of
Judeophobia with sexual violence in early Christian literature. The
introductory chapter establishes methodology, purpose, and aims of this
volume. The final chapter reflects on the ethical concerns governing the
field, challenges scholars have faced in their discipline, and the
tasks ahead. Along the way, Rape Culture and the Bible demonstrates how rape and rape culture in the Bible impact real lives across time and the globe.
