Jewish and Christian Views on Bodily Pleasure

World Religions

“The book is fascinating! As noted in the book, the topic of pleasure was central to the rabbis at the time of the beginning of the common era and writing of the Mishna. It was also extremely central to the earliest Christians from Jesus and on. I was deeply impressed by the primary and secondary sources. I loved reading about the contemporary implications and exploring the great contemporary relevance of this topic.”
