While the Bible is filled with stories of rape, scholarly approaches to sexual violence in the scriptures remain exhausted, dated, and in some cases even un-feminist, lagging far behind contemporary discourse about sexual violence and rape culture. Graybill responds to this disconnect by engaging contemporary conversations about rape culture, sexual violence, and #MeToo, arguing that rape and sexual violence - both in the Bible and in contemporary culture - are frequently \u003cem\u003efuzzy\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003emessy\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eicky\u003c\/em\u003e, and that we need to take these features seriously. \u003cem\u003eTexts after Terror \u003c\/em\u003eoffers a new framework informed by contemporary conversations about sexual violence, writings by victims and survivors, and feminist, queer, and affect theory. In addition, Graybill offers significant new readings of biblical rape stories, including Dinah (Gen. 34), Tamar (2 Sam. 13), Bathsheba (2 Sam. 11), Hagar (Gen.\u003cbr\u003e16), Daughter Zion (Lam. 1-2), and the unnamed woman known as the Levite's concubine (Judges 19). \u003cem\u003eTexts after Terror\u003c\/em\u003e urges feminist biblical scholars and readers of all sorts to take seriously sexual violence and rape, while also holding space for new ways of reading these texts that go beyond terror, considering what might come \u003cem\u003eafter.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRhiannon Graybill \u003c\/strong\u003eis W.J.
