In the past hundred years, we have seen the popular views on sexual morality change radically. A prime example is the widespread acceptance of same-sex marriages. At the same time, discrimination against many, such as those in the LGBTQ community, has not diminished. The effort of some churches to impose their own moral codes on others-even through legislation-has become more strident. What is the reasoning behind the prejudice and discrimination that has reached so many families and split Christian denominations? To find the answer, Dr. DeWall has turned to the origin of sexual morality and prejudicial thinking in religious history. He has uncovered how sexual norms were created out of baseless assumptions and fabricated biblical interpretations. Christian theologians disparaged marriage in favor of celibacy and debased women as inferior to men. Our present-day discrimination of those who appear "different" has its source largely in the thinking and culture of Christianity. How Religion Corrupted Sexual Ethics will open the door to a new view of how to make decisions about sexuality.
