Dear colleagues,

I am creating a first-year, one-semester survey course on the history of
Christianity and sexuality and wondered whether you had suggestions for
must-have readings. The course will follow a chronological scheme.  We will
explore the ways in which Christian teachings on a few key issues - celibacy,
adultery, homosexuality, and polygamy, for example -- have varied over time and
will chart the diverse ways in which Christian individuals and communities have
negotiated, contested, or reconfigured these teachings in their lives and
writings.

I would appreciate any suggestions you might have for readings for the course
(through the list or via private email) and will collate the suggestions should
the response warrant it and list members be interested in it.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions you might have.
