Ellis argues against not only this line of thought but also the attendant notion that this way of thinking underlies Paul's comments on homosexual activity in Romans 1. Through close analysis of numerous ancient passages relating to sexual desire, Ellis demonstrates that ancient thinkers tend to condemn not sexual desire in itself but excessive sexual desire and lack of self-control. Furthermore, he contends that ancient auditors would have been unlikely to see condemnation of sexual desire in Paul's words in 1 Thessalonians 4 or 1 Corinthians 7."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of New Testament studies ;$v354. 606 $aSex$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aSexual ethics 606 $2Biblical studies & exegesis 615 0$aSex$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aSexual ethics. 676 $a241/.66 700 $aEllis$b J.
