Genesis 19:29-38: Rape and Victim-blaming

from The Bible Message without Patriarchy · host Awake Deborah

In today's podcast episode, we read Genesis 19:29-38 from the Common English Bible.  In this disturbing passage, the two adult daughters of Lot decided to serve their father enough wine to make him drunk, so that they could have sex with him without his knowledge or consent.  Ancient traditions about this passage actually blame Lot for the sexual assault committed against him.  Both rape and victim-blaming are prevalent in too many cultures today.  Only by holding offenders fully responsible for their own actions can we ever hope to truly promote much needed change.
