Recenzii
'focuses on those religions that have come to prominence since World War II...This book melds old and new...' Religion and Human Rights Journal ’...a fascinating insight into both the origins of early religious traditions and sexuality, and into the modern world of religion and sex. Hunt has accomplished a feat at collecting a rich and varied selection of essays and articles that create a thorough, well-developed three-dimensional context within which sex, religion and society intersect. These works are valuable tools to consider these intersections, the lives of both modern and historical humankind.’ Sexuality & Culture
Descriere
The articles brought together in this volume reveal the range of contentious attitudes towards human sexuality from the so-called 'new spiritualities', quasi-religions and the more 'hidden' forms of religiosity, which are now evident on a global scale.
