Many people would answer, simply, "through repression", but the relationship is much more complicated than that. While many religions draw boundaries between what they consider to be appropriate and inappropriate use of the human body, especially in the realm of sexuality, the same religions often celebrate human sexuality and even expect sexual partners to provide each other with sexual pleasure. Celibacy, too, is more than just repression, and sometimes it is even seen as providing the practitioner with great spiritual power; in other settings, the sex act itself is understood to provide this power. Religion, the Body and Sexuality offers students and general readers a sophisticated and accessible exploration of the connections between religion, sexuality, and the body, through case studies and overviews in the following thematic chapters: Celibacy, Regulation, Controversy, Violence, Innovation, Instrumentalization, Ecstasy. Each chapter includes suggestions for further reading, questions for further thought, and a list of relevant media resources. This engaging book is an excellent addition to introductory courses on religion or sexuality and is a much-needed new volume for advanced courses on the intersections of these areas of human experience"--$$cProvided by publisher. 001487493 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001487493 650_0 $$aSex$$xReligious aspects.$$vFiction$$0(DLC)sh2009113738 001487493 650_0 $$aHuman body$$xReligious aspects. 001487493 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001487493 7001_ $$aWilcox, Melissa M.,$$d1972-$$eauthor.$$d1972-$$0(DLC)n 2003092591 001487493 7001_ $$aWilson, Liz,$$d1961-$$eauthor. 001487493 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHoel, Nina.$$tReligion, the body, and sexuality : an introduction.$$dAbingdon, Oxon : Routledge, 2020 $$z9781138728103 $$w(DLC) 2020014235 001487493 852__ $$bebk 001487493 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=6267371$$zOnline Access 001487493 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1487493$$pGLOBAL_SET 001487493 980__ $$aBIB 001487493 980__ $$aEBOOK 001487493 982__ $$aEbook 001487493 983__ $$aOnline
