  • The Politics of Sexual Morality in Irelandby Chrystel Hug; Jo Campling

    Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. 1999; US$ 140.00

    Oxford University Press 1985; US$ 85.00

For most of Western history people have not had such expectations. Innocent Ecstasy shows how Christianity led Americans to hope for so much from sex. It is the first book to explain how the sexual revolution could have occurred in a nation so deeply imbued with Christian ethical values. Tracing our strange journey from the hands of Jonathan Edward's angry Puritan God to the loving embrace of Marabel Morgan's Total Woman, Gardella draws his surprising evidence from widely disparate sources, ranging from Catholic confessionals to methodist revival meetings, from evangelical romances to The Song... more...
