The author of this article contextually presents the Hebrew biblical passage of "the Rape of Tamar" and gives a comparative account of rape trauma in contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand, providing a hermeneutic interpretation of rape as family violence for the purpose reinforcing the message that both are, however common, nonetheless unacceptable. The article gives a brief definition of family/domestic violence, and the author provides an interpretation of the reading of the Rape of Tamar through the various stages (pre-rape, rape, after the rape), comparing it to the contemporary New Zealand literature on the subject of domestic violence and rape.
