Stiebert, J orcid.org/0000-0001-6744-4819 (2022) Abusive Theology and LLF: Spaces of Silence. Modern Believing, 64 (1). pp. 8-16. ISSN 2053-633X
Abstract
The article discusses abusive theology and its manifestation in scripture. It focuses on two examples from the Bible alongside two common forms of abuse: Numbers 5, with reference to domestic abuse and coercive control, and Numbers 31, with reference to inaction in response to gender-based and sexual abuse. The article recommends challenging and explicitly rejecting such texts as one step towards validating survivor experience and showing solidarity with victims and survivors of abusive theology. The article points to deficiencies in LLF, particularly concerning its deference to the Bible.
