- This 140,000-word monograph took ten years to complete and aims to bring religion back into the history of sexuality. The research uses hundreds of books of theology, law reports, moralising tracts, Anglican pastoral writing, Biblical geography and contemporary writings by the American Religious Right. It also draws on early-modern theology, anti-Catholic propaganda, early theories of the end of the world, histories of sodomy, pastoral theology, the legal history of ‘homosexual’ offences dating back to the C16th, the Reformation of Manners in the late C17th, early Biblical archaeology and the exploration of Palestine in the C19th, and queer theory.
