Miryam Clough

Shame, the Church and the Regulation of Female Sexuality (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the idea that shame has historically been, and continues to be, used by an oftentimes patriarchal Christian Church as a mechanism to control and regulate female sexuality and to displace men's ambivalence about sex. It is a fresh take on the issue of shame and gender in the context of religious belief and practice. As such it will be of significant interest to academics in the fields of Religious Studies, Theology, Church History and Gender Studies.
