The Enemy in the Household -Family Violence in Deuteronomy and Beyond

Description

“Reader offers us an-depth study of the laws of constructive family violence’ in the book of deuteronomy. She contributes to our interpretive lens by means of an ethnographically sensitive exegesis of these laws in Deuternomy as well as a thorough review of their conceptualization in subsequent believing communities. Here is a very helpful resource for those engaged in the study of family law, the marking of social boundaries in Israel, and even church discipline.
