Thesis (Ph.D.)--Union Theological Seminary, 1989.
초록/해제  
요약 : This thesis argues that the contemporary battered women's movement has raised significant ethical questions which must be addressed by the Church in general and Christian social ethics in particular. In addition, the assumptions and working methods of the battered women's movement itself are seen to offer an alternative approach to the method of Christian social ethics as a discipline. The main focus of the work is to demonstrate how this movement, rooted in the earlier feminist and anti-rape movements, has introduced moral obligations which challenge dominant cultural assumptions about women and family life. These same obligations have gone unacknowledged in traditional Christian social ethics. Four central ethical themes are shown to emerge from the feminist analysis of woman-battering and the movement's practical attempts to provide safety and justice for battering victims: (1) male violence and women's rights; (2) the priority of victims' needs; (3) the effect of battering on the woman's moral agency; and (4) the paradigmatic nature of battered women's experience as injustice. These themes in turn pose basic questions about the right to privacy, criminalization of violence committed within the family, and the moral imperative to provide shelter for victims of family violence. Responses by the institutional Church to the movement's efforts are discussed, with specific attention to the role played by clergy. Theological issues which emerge from working with battered women are then identified and discussed in the context of the feminist-liberation perspective in Christian theology and ethics. Feminist efforts are seen to provide the necessary ground from which to address adequately the four ethical themes and to reconsider norms for interpersonal relationships in an effort to construct an ethic of family life which will acknowledge and respond to family violence, particularly woman-battering. Language about love is judged inadequate and inappropriate to this task. Instead, an ethic of justice is proposed which has its roots in specific fundamental rights to be applied in family relationships as a whole.
