Abandoned To Lust
Early Christians used charges of adultery, incest, and lascivious behavior to demonize their opponents, police insiders, resist pagan rulers, and define what it meant to be a Christian. This book explores the writings of Paul, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus of Lyons, and other Christian authors who argued that Christ alone made self-mastery possible.
