Description
"Although the story told in Judges Chapter 19 is supremely violent, it ultimately takes our attention because of its treatment of women. Not only does it feature as its central act a vicious molestation of an innocent woman, but this molestation and dismemberment is also a part of a religious text. This text, our Hebrew Bible, is not just central to Jewish and Christian civilisation, but also to their worship, and is held by nearly a third of the people of the planet to be spiritually significant."
from Viye Raines' introduction to The Levite's Concubine
