Domestic abuse is a common occurrence for women in the Christian Church. Underlying this dark reality is a long history of patriarchal theological interpretations that have depicted God as a dominant male figure that subjects women to male hierarchy as a subordinate. Often based on an understanding of Jesus as subordinate to God the Father in the Trinity, the correlated praxis of the Church has commonly been to subject women to suffering at the hands of men – even at the cost of their lives – thus mimicking the death of Christ. This deeply flawed androcentric theology and subsequent praxis of women’s subordination has been severely challenged by liberal feminists, and rightly so for the sake of women’s survival and flourishing. This article utilizes the Social Trinity to provide a Christian feminist critique of patriarchal atonement models and theology towards the feminist goal of liberating women from male-perpetrated violence. Ultimately a reframing of God will be presented that includes women as full persons and calls them to resist the suffering of domestic abuse and to reclaim their full personhood as the imago Dei.

女性、人格和男神：从家庭虐待角度对父权制神观的女性主义批判

家庭虐待是基督教会中女性的普遍现象。在这个黑暗现实的背后是父权制神学解释的悠久历史，这些解释将上帝描绘成一个占主导地位的男性形象，将女性置于男性等级制度之下作为从属。通常基于对耶稣在三位一体中从属于父神的理解，教会的相关实践通常是让女性在男性手中受苦——甚至以生命为代价——从而模仿女性的死亡基督。这种存在严重缺陷的男性中心主义神学和随后的女性从属实践受到了自由主义女权主义者的严重挑战，为了女性的生存和繁荣，这是理所当然的。本文利用社会三位一体提供基督教女权主义对父权制赎罪模型和神学的批判，以实现将女性从男性实施的暴力中解放出来的女权主义目标。最终，将呈现对上帝的重新构架，其中包括女性作为完整的人，并呼吁她们抵制家庭虐待的痛苦并恢复她们作为天神的完整人格。
