The Body and Society
"The reader of Peter Brown's work is always uncertain which to admire most, the grace and clarity, the scope and erudition, or the ability to bring diverse and complex units into a meaningful whole. These merits are all fully on display inThe Body and Society." --New York Times Book Review"A profound exploration of the meaning of embodiment, celibacy, and chastity for early Christians" -- Lauren F.
