      abstract = {This book explores the Bible's ongoing relevance in  contemporary discussions around rape culture and gender  violence. Each chapter considers the ways that biblical  texts and themes engage with various forms of gender  violence, including the subjective, physical violence of  rape, the symbolic violence of misogynistic and  heteronormative discourses, and the structural violence of  patriarchal power systems. The authors within this volume  attempt to name (and shame) the multiple forms of gender  violence present within the biblical traditions, contesting  the erasure of this violence within both the biblical texts  themselves and their interpretive traditions. They also  consider the complex connections between biblical gender  violence and the perpetuation and validation of rape  culture in contemporary popular culture. This volume  invites new and ongoing conversations about the Bible's  complicity in rape-supportive cultures and practices,  challenging readers to read these texts in light of the  global crisis of gender violence.},
