reviewed Celibacy, Culture and Society: The Anthropology of Sexual Abstinence on October 10, 2016
Celibacy, Culture and Society
This reviewer's copy has 198 pages.
Just a couple of random picks: on p142, the reader is fed "To accept that Christian moral theology is no longer privileged speech about sexual matters is to accept that it must find a new rhetoric." appears to be one way of putting it. The rest of the page is even better. And on p156, "we might make more progress with Christianity's negative judgment on sex if we took it not as a historical puzzle, but as a rhetorical challenge." OK. And on the same page, "What alternate topics or roles does Christian rhetoric already offer us for discovering how to say more persuasive things about sexual pleasure?" I look forward to reading the rest of the book.
