Book Description
Statistics don't lie. Domestic abuse in the evangelical community is at least equal to that found in mainstream society. Ironically, abuse among Christians can be harder to confront, since biblical theology is often misused to validate the behavior.
The book "Women, Abuse, and the Bible" showed how to challenge the thinking that employs Scripture to justify abuse. Now "Healing the Hurting" offers real-life examples of how to stop the cycle of domestic violence--giving victims, counselors, and ministers a guide to finding hope beyond tragedy.
Firsthand insight from the contributors--survivors, counselors, Christian workers, and biblical scholars--offers practical advice that will:
- help women recognize abuse
- present ways to challenge abusers who misconstrue Scripture
- provide examples on how to heal emotionally, mentally, and spiritually through personal accounts from survivors
- challenge the church to recognize how dogma can cover up abuse
- help women break free and begin a journey to wholeness
Catherine Clark Kroeger is adjunct associate professor of classical and ministry studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, president emerita of Christians for Biblical Equality, and a regular speaker on domestic abuse. She lives in Brewster, Massachusetts.
James R. Beck, professor of counseling at Denver Seminary, lives in Englewood, Colorado.
Kroeger and Beck also coedited "Women, Abuse, and the Bible".
