Description 1 online resource (vii, 218 pages) Summary This volume exposes a surprisingly dynamic and dialogical relationship between theology, feminism, and the new sexual sciences that resists the teleologies of secularisation that dominate the histories of sexuality and Christianity in Britain. The story of Anglican sexual politics told in here firmly rebuts contemporary notions of the Church as an inevitably reactionary institution. On the contrary, it reveals the Church's historic capacity to renegotiate gender and sexual ideologies, and shows how it was often at the forefront of sexual change in British society Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from home page (viewed on Dec. 14, 2012) Subject Church of England -- History -- 19th century.
