dc.description.notesExamines the interface between religion and domestic violence from the perspective of both the victim and the perpetrator and raises a number of theoretical questions regarding the role religion does or could play in perpetuating or preventing violence in society. An overview of the prevalence of violence against women in religious families is provided and the role of the concepts of reconciliation and forgiveness, central to the Judaeo-Christian worldview, is considered critically. The potential for recognition of the role of religious values by the courts is discussed and a series of questions directed at expanding existing understandings of the power of religious traditions and the manner in which they intersect with other social factors, such as race, gender and class, is posed. Using postcommunist Croatia and Jamaica as examples, the relationship between faith and families in crisis in different parts of the world is discussed.en
