Revisiting the History of Sex and Christianity

Tuesday 28 October, 7pm

“Revisiting the History of Sex and Christianity” by Rev’d Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch. Professor of the History of the Church, Oxford University 1997-2019 in the light of his book published in 2024.

“Lower than the Angels: a History of Sex and Christianity”

Few matters produce more public interest or dissension than sex and religion. Revolutions in attitudes in the last generations have brought liberation to some and fear and fury to others. Professor MacCulloch seeks to calm fears and encourage understanding by revisiting three millennia of Jews and Christians encountering sex, gender and family.
