Biblical portrayals of an abusive God present a profound theological challenge, particularly for survivors of trauma and those grappling with post-Holocaust religious thought. When read through the lens of modern abuse dynamics and trauma studies, passages from Deuteronomy through Ezekiel reveal disturbing patterns of divine violence, sexual humiliation, and disproportionate punishment toward Israel. Through hermeneutical analysis grounded in four interpretive principles—speaking truth, serious textual engagement, maintaining divine relationship while allowing critique, and embracing plurivocal interpretation—this research examines how traditional theological responses have inadequately addressed these troubling scriptural depictions. The methodology combines close textual analysis of Hebrew and Christian scriptures with insights from feminist scholarship and abuse literature, particularly emphasizing victim innocence regardless of prior actions. Traditional approaches of historical contextualization, moral evolutionism, and ethical censorship fail to fully confront the reality of divine abusiveness as an essential attribute alongside holiness and personality. A "theology of protest," exemplified by Job and Elie Wiesel's Holocaust writings, emerges as the most authentic religious response—suggesting that challenge and sustained suspicion represent appropriate religious positions for both abuse survivors and post-Holocaust theological engagement.
