2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
Ruth Tucker recounts a harrowing story of abuse at the hands of her husbanda well-educated, charming preacher no lessin hope that her story would help other women caught in a cycle of domestic violence and offer a balanced biblical approach to counter such abuse for pastors and counselors. Weaving together her shocking story, stories of other women, and powerful stories of husbands who truly have demonstrated Christs love to their wives, with reflection on biblical, theological, historical, and contemporary issues surrounding domestic violence, she makes a compelling case for mutuality in marriage and helps women and men become more aware of potential dangers in a doctrine of male headship.

Really interesting story and perspective. There is a culture of male dominance in some areas of the church that can seem to work for some people while badly hurting others. The stories of hurt are not shared often enough so it is good to listen and learn. And there are often unhelpful voices only making things worse. I am thankful for the authors story and insight into this topic.

Domestic violence being justified by patriarchal views of marriage. It has to stop.
