Sexual abuse of women is sadly not only something that is present today, we see that it goes back even into biblical times. Our guest, Julianna Smith, a Ph.D. student researching the abuse of women in the Bible, gives us her findings while also helping us identify ways the church can push back against sexual abuse of women.
Thank you for speaking out on this topic! I have been outraged by silence or various stances the Church has taken on the sexual abuse of the women in the Bible. When I have tried to speak up, I have been silenced by the traditional views of these stories. Thank you for being bold to speak against traditional views and give perspective to real hurt, real trauma, and real injustice that these women experienced. This episode has brought a little healing to my story.
