Within these discussions, there is a strong emphasis on modesty, purity, and sexual passivity as markers of young women's 'godliness'. Yet, as the author argues, these gendered ideals are prescribed to readers using rape-supportive discourses and the tactics of coercive control. Moreover, the placement of these various editorial inserts within the pages of sacred scripture gives them considerable power to reinforce deeply harmful ideologies about gender, sexuality, and sexual violence. Given the seeming popularity of these Bibles among Christian teen girls, the need to dismantle their damaging rhetoric is especially urgent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of particular interest to those studying the Bible, religion, gender, and theology, as well as the general reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaroline Blyth\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Lecturer and Assistant Dean of Equity at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.24 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 29, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42652163866720,"sku":"9780367720742","price":69.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/RHJJbVd3ak55MS9jbjYwT254clZBZz09.webp?v=1773913858","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/rape-culture-purity-culture-and-coercive-control-in-teen-girl-bibles-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
