    • Just a few examples. . .
      There are many kinds of abuse.
      We only have time to look at a few
      that hopefully illustrate more general
      principles.
      • Clerical Abuse
      • Self harm
      • Verbal & Emotional Abuse
      • Spiritual Abuse
  • Impact
    • Impact of Abuse
      Abuse can have many different consequences.
      Generalizations can sometimes be misleading.
      But it is important for pastors to have
      well-informed instincts about the kind of
      harm done by abuse.

      • Impact on Family Members
      • Impact on Family Dynamics
      • Spiritual Distress
      • Spiritual Anorexia
  • Recovery
    • Recovery Journeys
      Recovery from abuse is not a one-size-fits-all
      kind of thing. We will explore a variety of
      ways to think about the process.
      • Overview of recovery options
      • Dealing with Core Issues
      • A Stages Model
      • An Integration Model
      • A Relational Model
  • Biblical Issues
    • Biblical Issues
      The biblical text has been both a helpful resource
      and a part of the problem for people who have been abused.
      In this section we explore this complexity.
      • Old Testament Overview
      • N.T. Overview: Gospels
      • Texts Abusers Abuse
      • Potentially helpful texts
  • Theological Issues
    • Theological Issues
      Theology is incredibly important
      during recovery from abuse. In this
      section we explore a number of key theological
      issues. It's not complete. It's not in-depth.
      But I hope that you will find
      something that is helpful.
      • Feelings
      • Forgiveness
      • Giving and Receiving
      • Good Self or Bad Self?
      • Obedience/Submission
      • Speed
  • Ministry
    • Doing Recovery at Church
      Finally, we ask what the local church
      would look like if recovery from abuse
      were a priority. . . and what pastoral
      competencies would help make this possible.
