See what you made me do - Intimate Partner Violence and the Bible
In this episode, Caz and Em discuss understandings of intimate partner violence and coercive control, both in the Bible and contemporary culture. They investigate the “prophetic marriage metaphor” that appears in the book of Hosea, where the prophet Hosea uses his own unhappy marriage to reflect on God’s troubled relationship with Israel. Caz and Em explore this metaphor to uncover how it evokes many of the same tactics used by contemporary perpetrators of coercive control.
