Funded Activity Summary

Attitudes towards Sexuality in Judaism and Christianity in the Hellenistic Greco-Roman Era: The First Comprehensive Analysis, in two volumes. This study investigates how attitudes towards sexuality in early Judaism and Christianity developed and were shaped in interaction with Hellenistic culture which largely dominated their world. It thus provides information about a formative period which continues to influence attitudes towards sexuality in many communities today and will provide them with a useful resource in the form of a two volume work and an abridged account for exploring where such attitudes came from and how they developed.
