Produktbeschreibung
Sex and religion are two of the commonest concerns of humanity. Often regarded as opposites - physical and spiritual, temporal and eternal - they seem to occupy different and clearly defined territories yet are constantly interacting. Sexual Morality in the World's Religions is unique in exploring these twin concerns together within the historical and contemporary contexts of each of the major living religions, from the ancient traditions and practices of both Eastern and Wester religions to the modern influences of medicine, psychology and women's rights. Covering a wide range of issues from marriage and celibacy, monogamy and polygamy, passion and love, veiling and harems, Yoga and Tantra, to Yin and Yang, mystical union and symbolism, the author offers a fascinating overview for the student of interreligious studies and the general reader.
