The Body and Society: Men, Women, and Sexual Renunciation in Early Christianity
Brown, Peter (Princeton University)
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.
