Saintly Women: Medieval Saints, Modern Women, and Intimate Partner Violence (Routledge Studies in Medieval Religion and Culture) by Nancy Nienhuis, Beverly Mayne Kienzle
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2 MB
Overview: This ground-breaking volume assesses the contemporary epidemic of intimate partner violence and explores how and why cultural and religious beliefs serve to excuse battering and to work against survivors’ attempts to find safety. Theological interpretations of sacred texts have been used for centuries to justify or minimize violence against women. The authors recover historical and especially medieval narratives whose protagonists endure violence that is framed by religious texts or arguments. The medieval theological themes that redeem battering in saints’ lives―suffering, obedience, ownership and power―continue today in most religious traditions. This insightful book emphasizes Christian history and theology, but the authors signal contributions from interfaith studies to efforts against partner violence.
Genre: Non-Fiction > History
