Description and Table of Contents

Description

Recent attention to early Christian attitudes toward the body and gender has focused on asceticism and renunciation. This volume collects newly translated texts on marriage and sexuality. Spanning the New Testament era through the sixth century and both Greek and Latin writers, Hunter demonstrates the ways in which Christian commitment was actually lived and our own theological heritage forged.
