Judges 19:1—30
This horrific tale relates the sexual abuse and murder of an unnamed woman. It is a text that is virtually never discussed at church. Do we shy away from such stories because we just don’t like to face the ugly reality of sexual violence, or is it that they hit too close to home?
Even in the church, sexual violence is a reality, and the church has too often been the cause of women remaining in abusive relationships. Can this text help us face what we do not want to see?
