Domestic violence and the dynamics of sin

Gillham introduces the topic and opens in prayer. Leslie likewise opens gently, and lays out what his aim is not, and what his aim is, to understand human violence in the context of the fall of the entire human race. He stresses that this does subtract from the importance of supporting survivors/victims in church settings and seeking professional help. Leslie explores Psalm 55 and David's experiences. He examines how hard it is to hand our anger over to God and entrust the justice to God, but that God can turn the wounds into joy. Leslie looks at the context of sin throughout the world, and places domestic violence within this context.
