The Gigantic Sexual Literature Of Theology

By Iwan Bloch

Book Overview

The Gigantic Sexual Literature of Theology is a comprehensive study of the intersection between sexuality and religion. Written by Iwan Bloch, a German physician and sexologist, the book explores the historical and cultural attitudes towards sex in various religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism. Bloch examines the ways in which religious beliefs and practices have shaped sexual behavior and attitudes over time, and how sexuality has been used as a tool for both oppression and liberation within religious communities. The book covers a wide range of topics, from celibacy and virginity to homosexuality and polygamy, and includes detailed analyses of religious texts, rituals, and practices related to sexuality. Bloch's approach is scholarly and objective, drawing on a wealth of historical and anthropological research to provide a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between sexuality and religion. The Gigantic Sexual Literature of Theology is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and sociology of sexuality, as well as those interested in the intersection of religion and culture.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Anthropological Studies in the Strange Sexual Practices of All Races in All Ages, by Iwan Bloch.
