Beschreibung
Lynne Renoir was born in Brisbane, Australia in 1941. She was the eldest daughter of an evangelist who believed every word in the Bible had been dictated by God. This led him to the view that his child had been born in sin, and that it was his duty to belt the devil out of her. The frequent physical punishments Lynne received caused her not only psychological damage but a feeling that she had somehow failed God. This situation led her on a long quest to discover whether she was, in fact, a failure, or whether her father had been mistaken in his beliefs.

In pursuing this question, Lynne completed a Master's degree in Psychology, followed by a PhD in Philosophy. She formed the view that her father's behavior was the result of serious deficiencies in his upbringing, together with his absorption of a distorted interpretation of the biblical text.

Lynne was motivated to share her findings in two books, God Interrogated: Reinterpreting the Divine, and Leaving Faith, Finding Meaning: A Preacher's Daughter's Search for God. In these works Lynne analyzes the various ways thinkers have researched questions of ultimate reality. She concludes that there is no one correct answer in this complex area of thought, and that different approaches may lead to the kind of transformation that is sought by those who long for meaning in their lives.

Über den Autor
Lynne Renoir suffered physical abuse at the hands of her judgmental father. The pain she endured led her to investigate how other abused people suffer, particularly men in their relationships with destructive women.Renoir's belief is that the abuse of men by their female partners is a serious social problem, largely unacknowledged by society. She argues that it has the effect of exacerbating a sense of disempowerment which many men experience today.In her Master's thesis, Renoir interviewed forty-eight men from Australia and New Zealand. Her study explores the nature and extent of physical, psychological, and sexual abuse against men, how they are affected by it, and the social structures which enable the abuse to occur. Her hypotheses were that the pain men experience as victims of female abuse is of such a magnitude that they are often unable to bear it, and also that there is a widespread prejudice against men which works against a just resolution in situations of heterosexual conflict. The origins of the bias against men, in Renoir's view ,lie in certain philosophies within feminism, which label a wide variety of historical and cultural developments with the single term 'patriarchy'. She suggests that this simplistic reduction enables the proponents of these philosophies to condemn men as a whole for the problems of civilization.The thesis points to the fact that society sees only women as victims of abuse, with men inevitably portrayed as perpetrators. Renoir's call is for governmental authorities to recognize the plight of men in abusive relationships and to take action to remedy the wrong that has been done to them. [267 words]
