“The book will be used for its individual essays rather than as a textbook on ‘rape culture and the Bible’. Each of the essays warrants careful reading and intentional sharing, particularly in a world reshaped by the Covid-19 pandemic in ways that have made rape cultures and their consequences even more evident.” (Gerald O. West, Journal of Theology for Southern Africa, Issue 167, July, 2020)
