Items related to Civilizing Sex: On Chastity and the Common Good
Synopsis
Patrick Riley explores the Judaeo-Christian tradition on marriage and sexuality and shows how marriage came to contain the force of sexuality, harnessing its energy to serve both the family and the community. His well-researched account contends that keeping sex within marriage is essential for the well-being of any society. A profound treatise defending the old-fashioned virtue of chastity both within and without marriage, for pagan and Christian.
