Drawing on ethnographic research over severaldecades from around the world, Elizabeth Koepping presentstestimonies from abused women, as well as theological justificationfor spousal abuse from the perpetrators. She argues that violenceagainst the (female) spouse can be understood as proper behaviourby manly men towards unruly wives, rather than an insult to the Imageof God in all persons.
