Abstract

This article explores the theological drivers of domestic and family violence (DFV)-specifically intimate partner violence-by engaging with ecclesiastical beliefs and practices of the Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA). Key theological, policy, and public documents were analyzed to understand gender relations, gender roles, marriage, ordination, ethical behavior, and responses to DFV. Findings from the document analysis demonstrate church practice and policy reforms underway in addressing violence against women and supporting safety. Simultaneously, the documents show contested and troubled positions regarding gender relations, the theological context to gender roles and responsibilities and the church's journey of debating (re)configuration of its organizational structure and responsibilities.

探索家庭暴力的神学背景。
本文通过研究澳大利亚路德教会(LCA)的教会信仰和实践,探讨了家庭暴力(DFV)--特别是亲密伴侣暴力--的神学驱动因素。我们对关键的神学、政策和公共文件进行了分析,以了解性别关系、性别角色、婚姻、圣职、道德行为以及对 DFV 的反应。文件分析结果表明,教会在应对针对妇女的暴力和支持安全方面正在进行实践和政策改革。同时,这些文件还显示了在性别关系、性别角色和责任的神学背景以及教会对其组织结构和责任进行(重新)配置的辩论过程中存在的争议和问题。
