Everything you ever wanted to know about Biblical sex!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sex and the Bible (Paperback)
This was a remarkable and eye-opening book, even for a religious skeptic such as myself.The author's insight into the sexual morality of the Hebrews is amazing. From the "righteous man" Lot's drunken impregnation of his virgin daughters to St. Paul's blatant sexual paranoia, every chapter has a surprise in it -- things they never told you about in Sunday school. Where else would find out that the Hebrews took the virgin daughters of their conquered enemies for sex slaves, or that in Hebrew custom a man swears his mightiest oath with his hand holding his testicles? Or that following strict Jewish law on when intercourse is sanctioned by God (a week after menstration, not on the Sabbath or during a number of religious holidays) it would only be possible on less than 100 days a year? A fascinating read for the believer and non-believer alike. |
