This book comes from a Masters research submitted to the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. Dr. Andor discusses the issue of domestic violence in the biblical story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife in Genesis 39. He uses reader-response criticism as his hermeneutical methodology to interpret the narrative. He concludes that domestic violence is found within the action of Potiphar's wife and the issues of domestic violence here are applicable to the Ghanaian context. The causes of domestic violence identified are the reaction of perpetrators to the appearance of victims, obsession, significant persons being unaware of the acts, and the misuse of power. The modes of perpetration identified are sexual harassment, the use of power, repeat offense, and the use of threat and blackmail. The effects of domestic violence identified are injustice, betrayal of trust, and the possibility of a repeat offence. Finally, he concludes that the problem can be curbed by the use of proper moral upbringing, interest of significant persons, and the control of power.
