He shows how marriage came to contain the force of sexuality, to harness its energies both to create and serve the family, and the well being of wider communities. The idea that sex is entirely a private issue is an error Dr. Rilley argues, with potentially disastrous consequences, both for the individual and societies."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Religious Studies: Bloomsbury Academic CollectionsChastitySexReligious aspectsChristianityHistorySexReligious aspectsJudaismHistorySexSocial aspectsChristian aspects of sexuality, gender & relationshipsChastity.SexReligious aspectsChristianityHistory.SexReligious aspectsJudaismHistory.SexSocial aspects.241.66Riley PatrickDr,153821UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910820372703321Civilizing sex3972956UNINA
