A careful, well-researched exposition of the biblical texts which are used to manipulate women into remaining in situations of domestic abuse, together with scriptures which are liberatory to women in this situation Adopts a high view of scripture and engages honestly with passages which are traditionally viewed as oppressive to women Draws on interviews with women who have experienced domestic violence Pastoral, direct, highly accessible style of writing which seeks to engage abused women and enable them to take a fresh look at the situation they are trapped in Written by a biblical scholar and practising pastor with a track record of being able to communicate to audiences at all levels
