Completely reliable scholarship on sexuality and early Christianity has to
include work by Elizabeth Clark (leading authority on women and early
Christianity) and Peter Brown, whose book, Body and Society, is central to the
field. John Boswell's work is still important but a bit dated, but
unfortunately, his late book on Same-sex unions, a work dominated by wishful
thinking and tendentious reading, should not be relied on at all.
