Celibacy and Religious Traditions (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Olson, Carl

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The purpose of this book is to examine how the practice of celibacy differs cross-culturally as well as historically within particular religious traditions. The essays demonstrate that celibacy is a complex phenomenon. The first collection of its kind, this book will be a valuable resource for courses in world religions, as well as a contribution to our understanding of this widespread but still puzzling human practice.
