How Roman Catholic Theology can Transform Male Violence Against Women
Explaining the Role of Religion in Shaping Cultural Assumptions about Gender
By Dr Michael O’Sullivan, was launched on Tuesday 3rd May 2011 at 6pm

The book was launched by Professor Linda Hogan, Irish School of Ecumenics and Trinity College Dublin.

“Michael O’Sullivan’s theological analysis of male violence against women breaks new ground in that it seeks to interrogate the legacy of a theology and a tradition that has, for the most part, been silent on the issue of violence against women, notwithstanding its prevalence in societies world-wide. This work draws on the past four decades of feminist analysis, and brings a new and unique perspective to bear on the discussion about the sexist substrata of the Christian tradition.  It treads where few male theologians have previously gone.” – Prof. Linda Hogan, Trinity College Dublin

Dr Michael O'Sullivan is Head of Theological Studies and Director of the MA in Applied Christian Spirituality programme at All Hallows College
