Book Description
Premarital sex and the Bible. Homosexuality and Hinduism. Polygamy and the Koran. Reproductive rights and the Judaic tradition. How do the world's major religions influence the sexual values, attitudes, and practices of their adherents? Sexuality and the World's Religions covers these not-suitable-for-the-dinner-table topics soberly and expertly, with extra chapters on nontraditional American religions and communities.
