What God Kept for Himself: Atheism, Sodomy, and Radical Dissent in Renaissance Italy - I Tatti Studies in Italian Renaissance History
Umberto Grassi
In early modern Italy, a wave of Inquisition trials prosecuted radical dissenters for their claims that Adam and Eve had angered God by engaging in sodomy—a sexual practice reserved for the divine. Such statements, which led to charges of atheism, played a key role in fueling broader critiques of Church corruption and Christian morality.
