A Word from Bob 

This is Part 2 of a three-part series on spiritual abuse.

Part 1, Definitions and Signs of Spiritual Abuse: Here I define spiritual abuse and share signs of spiritually abusive leadership. Part 2, Twenty Biblical Passages on Spiritual Abuse: Here I collate and share biblical passages about spiritual abuse. Part 3: Here I collate, link to, and provide a brief summary of several resources on spiritual abuse. Building a Biblical Theology of Spiritual Abuse 

Many times on social media we’ll read a comment like,

“What Christian resources (books, booklets, articles, blog posts, podcasts) would you recommend for such and such topic (sexual abuse, spiritual abuse, depression, anxiety, etc.)?

It’s a good question. And if you know me, then you know I love to collate resources like that.

However, perhaps our first question could be,

“What scriptural passages and biblical principles would you recommend for developing a biblical theology of such and such topic?”

That’s my focus in today’s post. Without much commentary, I’ll provide you with:

My current collation of the most relevant biblical passages that we could use to develop a biblical theology of spiritual abuse.
