Her work combines rigorous biblical scholarship with compassionate, accessible writing for those on the healing journey.

The Botkin Sisters’ Apology: My Response

Background (If you weren’t familiar with the homeschooling movement of the 1990s-2010s, forgive me this indulgence.) I homeschooled during homeschooling’s golden years. That is, during the time when parents were naive enough to believe that if we just did it right, our children would live trouble-free lives. (Which of course is never actually the goal […]

Quotes by Rebecca Davis  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There are actually real, flesh-and-blood people who have been harmed by powerful evildoers in the church. Who will show mercy to them? Who will show them the compassion they so desperately need? Will it be the Christians who are so busy “not judging” the ones who have committed egregious harm?”
― Rebecca H. Davis, Untwisting Scriptures that were used to tie you up, gag you, and tangle your mind: Book 3 Your Words, Your Emotions

“The disciples had been taught the Old Testament Scriptures their entire lives. They had followed Jesus Himself for three years. But only when He opened their minds did they begin to understand. Only when the risen Christ gave them eyes to see did they begin to recognize the shadow of the New Covenant in the Old, and to view the Old Covenant in the light of the New.”
― Rebecca H. Davis, Untwisting Scriptures that were used to tie you up, gag you, and tangle your mind: Book 2 Patriarchy and Authority

“Nowhere in the Bible is bitterness shown to be a secret sin, “hidden deep within the heart,” which can only be pointed out by those in authority (a teaching that forges it into a tool of religious abuse). Nowhere in the Bible is sinful bitterness shown to describe the person who has been hurt by an abuser. Instead, Destructive Bitterness paints a picture of the abuser. Both religious abusers in a church or ministry setting, and those who abuse emotionally, psychologically, and physically within the home can qualify as Biblically “bitter” in the sinful, destructive sense. They then are a Source of Bitterness, causing Grieving Bitterness to others.”
― Rebecca Davis, Untwisting Scriptures That Were Used to Tie You Up, Gag You, and Tangle Your Mind
