{"product_id":"book-2fmh","title":"Spiritual Violence","description":"Spiritual Violence: Religious Phenomena that Defile the Faith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrounded in Queer feminism, pastoral and practical theology, and cultural studies, this book offers historical context, analytical tools, and embodied practices to help readers confront the harm inflicted in the name of faith—and imagine pathways toward healing and liberation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhite Christian Supremacy arrived in the Americas through conquest, colonization, and settler colonialism. From its inception, it has shaped nations and moral imagination through a theology that sanctifies domination and normalizes harm. This work names and examines that legacy and identifies four interrelated religious phenomena that emerge from it: Spiritual Violence, Spiritual Terrorism, Religious Abuse, and Spiritual Trauma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether, these frameworks expose how religion is weaponized to control bodies, silence dissent, and fracture communities—especially those already pushed to the margins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCentering the lived experiences of marginalized people, with particular attention to LGBTQIA+ communities across the Americas, this book weaves ethnographic case studies, participant observation, and narrative analysis with somatic healing practices and guided reflection. The result is both rigorous theological critique and practical resource—a companion for survival, resistance, repair, and collective transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReaders will find:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Historical and theological analysis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Clear language for naming religious harm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Real-world case studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Somatic and reflective healing exercises\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Tools for reclaiming faith, body, and community\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTitle: Spiritual Violence: Religious Phenomena that Defile the Faith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCopyright © 2026.
