The chapters of Religion, Gender, and Family Violence: When Prayers Are Not Enough have been written from multiple disciplinary perspectives (sociology, religious studies, law) and based on research within diverse religious traditions including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, as well as new religious movements. Similarities and differences between traditions are highlighted based on empirical research which shows how people actually deal with family violence in different contexts. This book also addresses some of the larger historical and political backgrounds that impact the experiences of family violence amongst ethno-religious minorities. The lives of religious victims and perpetrators of family violence are considered, as well as the responsibilities of religious leaders, congregations and secular professionals in addressing this widespread social problem.

"Studies of the intersection of family/partner violence and religion remain in short supply. This volume is an important addition to the field. It should be read by clergy and religious leaders who want to learn more about family violence and by anti-violence advocates who want to better serve diverse populations. It should be included in libraries of universities that support research into this critical area." - V. Jacquette Rhoades, University of Indianapolis, in: Reading Religion, September 2018
