RELIGION 1476 - Sex and Sexuality in the Evangelical Tradition: Seminar

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

There is much talk about the Christian Right's focus on sex, but what about other strands within the evangelical tradition? In this course we read a wide range of primary sources from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries to chart a longer and more complicated trajectory of diverse evangelical views about sex, gender, and sexuality. Texts include tracts, sermons, diaries, conversion narratives, devotional periodicals, memoirs, ex-gay and ex-ex-gay testimonies, and visual images as well as popular texts on chastity, marriage and pornography.
