Women´s Bodies as Battlefield: Christian Theology and the Global War ...
Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite
Hardback. Christian theology has been complicit in justifying the war on women, but it also has resources to help finally declare peace in the war on women. War itself has come to resemble the war on women, and thus strategies to end the war on women, supported by new Christian theological interpretations, will also help end today's endless wars.
