The Gigantic Sexual Literature of Theology is a comprehensive study of the intersection between sexuality and theology. Written by Iwan Bloch, a German physician and sexologist, the book explores the history of sexual attitudes and practices within various religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Bloch examines the ways in which religious beliefs and practices have influenced sexual behavior throughout history, and how sexual attitudes have in turn shaped religious doctrine.The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a specific religious tradition. Bloch explores the teachings and practices of each tradition related to sexuality, including marriage, celibacy, homosexuality, and contraception. He also examines the role of women in each tradition and how their sexual behavior has been regulated.Throughout the book, Bloch draws on a wide range of sources, including religious texts, historical documents, and contemporary research in sexology. He provides a detailed analysis of the complex relationship between sexuality and religion, and challenges many long-held assumptions about both.The Gigantic Sexual Literature of Theology is a groundbreaking work that continues to be widely read and studied today. It remains an important resource for anyone interested in the history of sexuality and religion, and the ways in which these two powerful forces have shaped human culture and society.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.
