Genesis 34 details the sexual abuse of Dinah at the hands of Shechem. Jacob and his sons both react sinfully to their sister's rape. How can the church help be of service to the victims and survivors of sexual abuse? How does Christ uniquely offer grace, help, and healing to those who are survivors? The answer is found in the gospel detailed in Genesis 34.
