Book Synopsis The Chastity Plot by : Lisabeth During
Download or read book The Chastity Plot written by Lisabeth During and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-04-23 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Chastity Plot, Lisabeth During tells the story of the rise, fall, and transformation of the ideal of chastity. From its role in the practice of asceticism to its associations with sovereignty, violence, and the purity of nature, it has been loved, honored, and despised. Obsession with chastity has played a powerful and disturbing role in our moral imagination. It has enforced patriarchy’s double standards, complicated sexual relations, and imbedded in Western culture a myth of gender that has been long contested by feminists. Still not yet fully understood, the chastity plot remains with us, and the metaphysics of purity continue to haunt literature, religion, and philosophy. Idealized and unattainable, sexual renunciation has shaped social institutions, political power, ethical norms, and clerical abuses. It has led to destruction and passion, to seductive fantasies that inspired saints and provoked libertines. As During shows, it should not be underestimated. Examining literature, religion, psychoanalysis, and cultural history from antiquity through the middle ages and into modernity, During provides a sweeping history of chastity and insight into its subversive potential. Instead of simply asking what chastity is, During considers what chastity can do, why we should care, and how it might provide a productive disruption, generating new ways of thinking about sex, integrity, and freedom.

Book Synopsis Making Chastity Sexy by : Christine J. Gardner
Download or read book Making Chastity Sexy written by Christine J. Gardner and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-07-28 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though they are immersed in sex-saturated society, millions of teens are pledging to remain virgins until their wedding night. How are evangelical Christians persuading young people to wait until marriage? Christine J. Gardner looks closely at the language of the chastity movement and discovers a savvy campaign that uses sex to "sell" abstinence. Drawing from interviews with evangelical leaders and teenagers, she examines the strategy to shift from a negative "just say no" approach to a positive one: "just say yes" to great sex within marriage. Making Chastity Sexy sheds new light on an abstinence campaign that has successfully recast a traditionally feminist idea—"my body, my choice"—into a powerful message, but one that Gardner suggests may ultimately reduce evangelicalism’s transformative power. Focusing on the United States, her study also includes a comparative dimension by examining the export of this evangelical agenda to sub-Saharan Africa.
Book Synopsis Chastity Is for Lovers by : Arleen Spenceley
Download or read book Chastity Is for Lovers written by Arleen Spenceley and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2014-11-28 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2015 Catholic Press Award: Books for Teens and Young Adults (First Place). In 2012, journalist Arleen Spenceley outed herself as a twenty-six-year-old virgin in a Tampa Bay Times op-ed that went viral. In Chastity Is for Lovers, Spenceley expands on that piece, advocating Catholic teaching on sex and marriage with candor and humor, and without judgment. In her debut book, seasoned journalist and self-professed “happy virgin” Arleen Spenceley offers a mature, funny, and relatable vision of Catholic teaching on chastity for young adults. Chastity Is for Lovers provides perspective on a variety of topics—the difference between chastity and abstinence, how virginity is an affirming and valuable life choice, how the word “purity” can be harmful in ministry settings, how to date well, and why sexual self-control is the best form of marriage preparation—and gives single adults the best possible chance to find true love. She carefully avoids using language that shames readers and instead presents a view of chastity that is joyful and positive.

Book Synopsis Sexual Ethics in a Secular Age by : Eric J. Silverman
Download or read book Sexual Ethics in a Secular Age written by Eric J. Silverman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection features essays from top experts in ethics and philosophy of love that offer varying perspectives on the value of a contemporary secular virtue of chastity. The virtue of chastity has traditionally been portrayed as an excellent personal disposition concerning the ideal ordering of sexual desire such that the person desires that which is actually good for both the self and others affected by his or her sexual desires and actions. Yet, for roughly the past half century chastity has been increasingly portrayed as an unnecessary ideal with few secular benefits that could not be otherwise obtained. Instead, chastity is sometimes portrayed as an odd kind of religious asceticism with few secular benefits. The essays in this volume ask whether there may be advantages to reconsidering a contemporary virtue of chastity. A recovered and reconceptualized concept of chastity can offer partial solutions to problems associated with externalized sexual desire, including sweeping patterns of sexual harassment, the high divorce/relationship-failure rate, and widespread pornography use. Sexual Ethics in a Secular Age will appeal to researchers and advanced students interested in the philosophy of sex and love, virtue ethics, and philosophical accounts of secularity.
Book Synopsis Women and Religion in Medieval and Renaissance Italy by : Daniel Bornstein
Download or read book Women and Religion in Medieval and Renaissance Italy written by Daniel Bornstein and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1996-07-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the twelfth and the sixteenth centuries, women assumed public roles of unprecedented prominence in Italian religious culture. Legally subordinated, politically excluded, socially limited, and ideologically disdained, women's active participation in religious life offered them access to power in all its forms. These essays explore the involvement of women in religious life throughout northern and central Italy and trace the evolution of communities of pious women as they tried to achieve their devotional goals despite the strictures of the ecclesiastical hierarchy. The contributors examine relations between holy women, their devout followers, and society at large. Including contributions from leading figures in a new generation of Italian historians of religion, this book shows how women were able to carve out broad areas of influence by carefully exploiting the institutional church and by astutely manipulating religious percepts.
Download or read book Naked Chastity written by Dora Muhammad and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-01-27 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dora Muhammad shares an intimate collection of poetry drawn from her life of chastity for over 24 years. From her vow taken as a teenager to her sustained commitment through the end of her thirties, she offers a lyrical narrative that virtue demands more than just not having casual and uncommitted sex. Chastity will move us beyond celibacy and abstinence and cover every fiber of our being in a remarkable and irrevocable way. Speaking to those single and married, she presents a paradigm where sex is sacred, and the consecration of sexual communion within marriage aligns our individual purity with our mutual pleasure, and produces a healing covering for and from our holy matrimony. Inspired by the description of Jesus' healing power as virtue going out from him in the Biblical account of the woman with the issue of blood touching the hem of his garment, she speaks of the spiritual and creative gifts that virtue has imbued into her being. She writes to affirm that we must protect the virtue of our children to allow them to grow into their fullest potential and power; that we can reclaim our own virtue regardless of our past experiences or current circumstances; that virtue is present in the world today to overcome it and transform us through healing in the process of being made whole. This is not a manual, guide or textbook. It seeks to edify others along their personal work of virtue, to nourish seeds of chastity; and through its blossoms, inspire others to refuse to dwell in the land of lack and longing but seek to thrive in an oasis of an abundant outpouring of God's love and healing, where virtue is affirmed.

Book Synopsis The Beauty of Chastity by : Ev. Paul Mukendi
Download or read book The Beauty of Chastity written by Ev. Paul Mukendi and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A woman had been caught in the act of adultery, and she was brought to Jesus. While Jesus dealt with the sensitive issue of sexual sins, he did not speak loudly and make a long sermon, but quietly wrote it down. Sometimes honest words that are of a sensitive nature should rather be written down than said. We are aware that sexual matters are not comfortable topics to deal with, as most people treat them with social stigmas, yet we must be diligent to address them thoroughly with the help of the Holy Spirit. These teachings might make someone feel uncomfortable, yet they are one of the most noteworthy teachings of the Bible. The extent and variety of sexual sins are rapidly increasing in our sophisticated societies, so the need has arisen to present sound biblical teachings on sexuality. Many people may find themselves victims of sexual sins because they are ignorant. Hence, the Bible says, “you will know the truth, and truth shall set you free.” The purpose of these teachings is not to embarrass anyone, but to help people discover the truth. This book on chastity seeks to help both married and single people find the necessary motivation to pursue sexual purity in a perverted world, it addresses many sexual problems and objections frequently found in our society. Young people, for whom this book was mainly written, are shown how to live the charisma of virginity and celibacy charismatically — that is as a gift, in all humility, with joy and perfect freedom.
Download or read book A Wild Constraint written by Jenny Taylor and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-12-11 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Wild Constraint: The Case for Chastity, Taylor addresses the provocative subject of celibacy. Too often considered an exclusively religious option, celibacy has been reclaimed by some feminists and sociologists over the last 20 years as a radical alternative in secular society to the liberal sexual lifestyle. What, after all, is sexual liberation when so often the outcome is pain and social chaos? In the context of promiscuity, sexual abuse and confusion, celibacy can herald a different sexual freedom. Jenny Taylor draws on personal experience and interviews with men and women of all ages to demonstrate the impact of the sexual revolution and to make a case for celibacy. She argues that celibacy is a viable alternative that deserves to be taken seriously and challenges the church to speak out for sexual abstinence with confidence and certainty.
Book Synopsis Celibacy and Soul by : Susan J. Pollard
Download or read book Celibacy and Soul written by Susan J. Pollard and published by Fisher King Press. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celibacy and Soul: Exploring the Depths of Chastity is for women and men who have chosen to live into celibate chastity. It is also for those people who live celibate love, and though not vowed to a religious calling, know the way of celibate love as their path. You may find yourself celibate not by choice or you may hope it is a temporary stage. Perhaps life interrupted your plans with the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, the situation of illness, the trauma of abuse, or you simply didn’t settle with the desired partner and you want to find meaning in your life as a celibate person. Celibacy and Soul is also useful for those in the helping professions, as the work of a therapist asks a celibate kind of loving that can be catalyst for change in both clients and practitioners.
Book Synopsis His Fall from Power - The Complete Story: A Female Domination and Male Chastity Novel by : Mistress Benay
Download or read book His Fall from Power - The Complete Story: A Female Domination and Male Chastity Novel written by Mistress Benay and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever Since Mistress Benay published her Award Winning Novel, "His Fall From Power," and then, the exciting and suspenseful Sequel to it, both in Kindle Format, she has been besieged with requests from her loyal readers to combine both Volumes in one Paperback Edition. Here for the first time, the Full Length Complete story of "His Fall From Power" is being published as a Beautiful Paperback.. Thomas McMillian was on Top of the World. As C.E.O. of a rapidly growing Electronics Company, he had it all. The Beautiful Wife, the Mansion in the Suburbs, the Fancy Foreign Cars, and Everything he could possibly wish for, until he made two mistakes which were going to cause him to lose everything. First he hired drop dead gorgeous Ashley Long to be his Executive Secretary, and then he betrayed his Wife, by having an affair with Ashley. Little did Thomas know, that those two mistakes would catapult him into his new role as a slave to his Wife and to his Secretary in this action packed novel filled with Corporate Intrigue and Sensual Relationships. Mistress Benay weaves a plot where the main character does not realize until it is too late that he has been led into a world of Male Chastity, Bondage, Bi-Sexual Relationships, Domestic Servitude, Discipline and Female Domination by the clever maneuvering of his Wife and his Secretary. After Betraying his wife by having an affair, Thomas McMillan now accepts the fact that his life will never be the same again, as his Beautiful wife, Doreen relegates him to the role as her 24/7 slave and maid. A role which Thomas could never have imagined would be filled with so much suffering and indignity. Female Domination, Male Chastity, Bi-Sexual Relationships, and Bondage & Discipline are an every day part of Thomas's new life now that he no longer is in charge of his Company, and has become a helpless slave to his wife, and to his former Secretary Ashley Long. Here is just one of the many Five Star Reviews this Novel has received: "The action in Mistress Benay's 'His Fall From Power' is well paced, often creative, and woman centered. Her style to me is measured and softly worded, rising to a crescendo, then deftly falling back to build again. 'His Fall From Power' is right up there among erotica written for women, by women, but tops my two favorite authors of female erotica, Anne Rice and Pauline Reage as, here, the woman does not suffer for love, but she commands it, demands it, and revels in the devotions a well trained male can provide."
