Examining the intersection of shame, gender, and religion, this book delves into how the patriarchal Christian Church has historically utilized shame to control female sexuality and address men's conflicted feelings about sex. It offers a contemporary perspective on these dynamics, highlighting the ongoing implications for women within religious contexts. Through this lens, the author challenges traditional narratives and invites readers to reconsider the role of shame in shaping gendered experiences in faith.
