Thesis (Ph.D.)--Union Theological Seminary, 2002.

The central question of this thesis is whether or not the Bible can be salvaged in such a way as to address the particular suffering of battered and abused women and children who sit in our church pews on Sunday mornings. In other words, what difference would it make if we put our ethical concern for the safety and well-being of battered and abused women and children at the center of our biblical and theological hermeneutic? In order to test these questions, I have taken a critical look at the use of scripture in selected traditional, feminist, liberation and womanist biblical and theological materials for their relevance for my concern to address the suffering of battered and abused women and children.

520 $a The central question of this thesis is whether or not the Bible can be salvaged in such a way as to address the particular suffering of battered and abused women and children who sit in our church pews on Sunday mornings. In other words, what difference would it make if we put our ethical concern for the safety and well-being of battered and abused women and children at the center of our biblical and theological hermeneutic? In order to test these questions, I have taken a critical look at the use of scripture in selected traditional, feminist, liberation and womanist biblical and theological materials for their relevance for my concern to address the suffering of battered and abused women and children.
520 $a In all of my explorations, I have found the work of Delores Williams, Mary Pellauer, Phyllis Trible, and Elie Wiesel to be the most meaningful in coming to terms with my central questions. In the work of each scholar, suffering is not a <italic>phenomenon to be studied</italic> but <italic>an unfathomable fact of existence</italic>. In each case, treatment of biblical materials illumines the text around the experience of suffering and invites the battered or abused woman or child to meaningfully engage the tradition for survival and sustenance in a culture indifferent to them.
520 $a Can the Bible be salvaged for battered and abused women and children? My conclusion is that it can but our efforts will require a creative and imaginative re-reading of the text not only to bring the text into view, but always with the ultimate end of bringing the God of <italic>seeing</italic> and <italic> hearing</italic> closer to the sufferer's experience so that One who has a particular love and concern for the most vulnerable, the orphan, the widow, and the stranger, including the battered and abused woman and child, indeed the One who weeps with those who weep and mourns with those who mourn can be more fully known. In the end, the wilderness metaphor survives as the place where women live as we struggle to name and eliminate violence against women and children. Yet, biblically speaking the wilderness is not only the place of struggle and survival but also the place of <italic>formation</italic> where battered and abused women and children who do survive can being, again.
