The Body and Society

Peter (Princeton University) Brown

From Shelf: Books recommended during the podcast The Rest is Politics (organised shortest to longest)

Focuses on the practice of permanent sexual renunciation-continence, celibacy, and life-long virginity - in Christian circles from the first to the fifth centuries AD. This book questions how theological views on sexuality and the human body both mirrored and shaped the uneven relationships between men and women.
