Abstract:
»In Chapter 3, Solvang examines the use of rape as a strategy in ancient and modern conflicts, drawing out instructive parallels between the role played by rape in the 1994 Rwandan genocide and Absalom’s decision to sexually violate the concubines of his father, King David, in 2 Sam. 16.«
