330   $aThis book explores the religious teachings of best-selling Victorian author and former Member of Parliament, Laurence Oliphant (1829-1888). While several biographies have been written on his captivating life, the stage of his life when Oliphant first established 'The Household' commune has, until now, been largely unexplored. This book focuses on this later stage of his life, exploring Oliphant's religious teachings. Additionally, this study incorporates a newly discovered archive, which reveals many behind-the-scenes details of The Household's teachings. Jeffrey D. Lavoie shows that Oliphant provided a unique interpretation of sexuality from a mystical Christian perspective, which opposed the restrictive contemporaneous "Victorian morality." Jeffrey D. Lavoie is Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Middlesex Community College in Lowell, Massachusetts, USA.
