Description
What to do when a victorious soldier lusts for the beautiful woman he's just taken captive in an overseas war. In fact, her body already belongs to him as war booty. If they're alone in an alley, no one will find out what he does to her. That's the incendiary situation to which the Bible responds with the Beautiful Captive Law. The Bible's first step was to stop battlefield rape and protect the vulnerable woman from the powerful soldier. More than that, the Bible has strategies to get the soldier to control himself, even when no one is looking. Then the Bible brings the soldier to care for her, as the person she is. The Jewish tradition's next major step was in the 12th century when it empowered the captive to decide for herself what direction she wants her life to take, including going free without marrying him. This book shows how these strategies can work in our communities today, to reduce all kinds of sexual abuse.
Tales of passion, martyrdom and a rare man who can "Just say no" to a rape he could have gotten away with -- can help us educate our youth toward a more respectful future for all gender relations, not just war-time rape. Surprises await both Bible-believers and Bible-skeptics.
