Description
Summary:Pastoral work with survivors of domestic violence may reveal theological struggles. Understandings of scripture that reinforce a sense of powerlessness and alienation from God may contribute to an impaired relationship and limit resources for healing.

The application resulted in a line of inquiry that may assist survivors in their healing process.
