Why Did Christianity Become Obsessed with Sex? Desire, Embodiment, and the Sacredness of Creation
from The Unintentional Heretic · host Greg Farrand
For centuries, Christianity wrestled with a profound question: are our bodies, desires, and passions obstacles to God or places where God is revealed? In this episode of The Unintentional Heretic, we explore how Greek dualism, Augustine, monasticism, and purity culture shaped Christian attitudes toward sex—and why many Christians today are rediscovering the sacredness of creation, embodiment, and desire itself.Would love to hear your thoughts!
