Book excerpt: Narrating Rape presents exciting new scholarship on how to read, wrestle with, and respond to sexual violence and rape in and around biblical texts. The fourteen essays represent global contributors and bring together respected senior scholars along with fresh emerging voices. Contributors take on sexual violence in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, as well as the ancient Near Eastern and Roman contexts that informed the production of these texts. There is also a significant focus on using contemporary literature, film, and popular culture (including reality television and music) to read and interpret biblical rape stories.
