The Sex Lives of Saints

- An Erotics of Ancient Hagiography

About The Sex Lives of Saints

Virginia Burrus argues that the early accounts of the lives of saints are not anti-erotic but rather convey a sublimely transgressive "counter-eroticism" that resists the marital, procreative ethic of sexuality found in other strands of Christian tradition.
