Description :
Assault on the Body presents a Christ-centred response to sexual violence, through testimonies by sexual assault survivors and articles by theologians, pastors, academics, social workers, counsellors, lawyers and advocates.
Taken together, these chapters reveal God’s heart for victims of sexual violence, demonstrate how to be a supportive church community, explain how to avoid common mistakes when responding to and journeying with victims, and propose how to safeguard our churches responsibly.
Whether you are a pastor managing a sexual assault case, a lay person who wants to equip your church community to be a safe space, or someone journeying with a victim of sexual violence, this book is for you.
