Lower than the Angels: A History of Sex and Christianity
Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch will speak on his new book, Lower than the Angels: A History of Sex and Christianity with a Q&A afterwards. Few matters produce more public interest and public anxiety than sex and religion. Much of the political contention and division in societies across the world centres on sexual topics, and one-third of the global population is Christian in background or outlook. The issue goes to the heart of present-day religion. This book seeks to calm fears and encourage understanding through telling a three-thousand-year-long tale of Christians encountering sex, gender and the family.
A drinks reception will follow the event in the Sybill Dodd Room.
