| Résumé : |
In his magisterial new book Peter Brown examines the practice of permanent sexual renunciation that developed among the early Christians and gives back to them the disturbing strangeness of their most central preoccupations.
The Body and Society is a brilliant evocation of an era and a major contribution to our understanding of sexuality and the family in the ancient world. |
