Introducing the enemy within -- Understanding constructive family violence in Deuteronomy -- Constructive family violence in Hellenistic Palestine -- Enmity and treason according to Philo, Josephus, and the rabbis -- Constructive family violence and the early church -- Reading constructive family violence in the Bible.

Summary: Three laws in Deuteronomy command violence against a family member--the enemy in the household--who leads others away from covenantal obligations to God. Several biblical and post-biblical narratives make use of such violence. In this fresh approach to troubling biblical texts, Caryn Reeder explores the "family violence" passages in Deuteronomy, tracing their ancient interpretation and assessing their contemporary significance. --from publisher description.
