He also examines the role of women in each tradition and how their sexual behavior has been regulated.Throughout the book, Bloch draws on a wide range of sources, including religious texts, historical documents, and contemporary research in sexology. He provides a detailed analysis of the complex relationship between sexuality and religion, and challenges many long-held assumptions about both.The Gigantic Sexual Literature of Theology is a groundbreaking work that continues to be widely read and studied today.
