Beyond Abuse in the Christian Home: Raising Voices for Change
Book review by William David Spencer
Beyond Abuse in the Christian Home is a landmark book/manual/resource directory whose mission is the complete equipping of counselors, caretakers, clergy, church workers, family members, and friends working with or concerned about those who are being abused.
The topic is one not normally discussed in Christian circles. Consequently, the manuscript made the rounds of several publishers who declined it as too much to handle before it was wisely published by Wipf & Stock and, after publication, enthusiastically embraced by its House of Prisca and Aquila line, whose mission is to produce egalitarian books with a high view of Scripture.

Women, Abuse, and the Bible: How Scripture Can Be Used to Hurt or to Heal
We all either know someone or have heard stories about women who have been abused.
Why do Christians physically, sexually, or emotionally abuse others--with frightening frequency? A recent conference on "Women, Abuse, and the Bible" looked for answers. Fifteen select papers from this conference appear in this book.
Part I covers the relationship between belief and abuse. The book analyses statistics and includes personal stories, showing how biblical concepts can be misused to feed tendencies toward control and violence. Chapters deal with the biblical, theological, pastoral, psychological, legal, and social aspects of abuse. The book also considers whether traditional views have made women targets.
