Sex and Heaven: Catholics in Bed and at PrayerPalgrave Macmillan, 05/03/2003 - 239 من الصفحات John Portmann examines the age-old link between sex and death in the context of modern religion and spirituality. The link between sex and death has always held sway in Western religions; religious leaders find their most urgent calling in patrolling and carefully redefining sexual morality, and religious morality has long fastened on sex. The Sexual Revolution of the 1960's saw open sexuality become the norm, sparking a dramatic shift in attitudes towards sex and morality well into the end of the Twentieth century and beyond. It seems that the older our civilization gets, the less inhibited we feel about sex. Portmann challenges the theory that there's 'nothing new under the sun', explaining how the test of heaven lurks in the everyday signs and sounds surrounding us: on billboards, television and in cinemas. |
