When religious authority becomes corrupt, the consequences are devastating. The disturbing rape and murder of the Levite’s concubine in Judges 19 is the culmination of Israel’s descent into corruption and religious betrayal. The story of the nameless and voiceless woman sacrificed to a mob to protect a male religious leader stands in marked contrast to the story of Caleb’s daughter, Achsah, in Judges 1. Using trauma theory as a hermeneutical lens, this paper will offer a study of these two vastly different experiences of women within the context of religious authority. Trauma studies offers interpretive insights into key elements of the text, including schema theory as a potential explanation for the changing Hebrew descriptor of the Levite from husband to master and the role of the concubine’s silence as a literary marker of trauma. The connections between these two stories also draw attention to the contemporary ChurchToo movement and the women who continue to be silently sacrificed to protect corrupt religious authority.
