Historical and contemporary Christian narratives of battering often reveal striking similarities in their religious arguments that praise the suffering obedience of the victim and minimize the culpability of the batterer. On the other hand, sometimes women or their communities call upon religious belief to support their resistance and responses to violence. Effective public policy and ministry must take into account the religious dimensions of the problem and the responses to it.
Beverly Mayne Kienzle of the Harvard Divinity School and Nancy Nienhuis of Andover Newton Theological School discuss their research on historical and contemporary narratives of battering. Robert Hensley-King moderates the conversation.
