This book examines the influence of Christian ideas and institutions on sexual norms and behaviors from the time of Luther and Columbus to Thomas Jefferson. Through a global approach and geographical organization, Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia, and North America are analyzed, addressing topics such as marriage, divorce, clerical sexuality, magic, homosexuality, and sexual offenses. The work is situated in a broad historical context, including the history of sexuality, the body, women, law, religion, and studies on colonialism, offering an introduction to the key theoretical and methodological aspects of these areas.
