From an esteemed scholar of American religion and sexuality, a
sweeping account of the century of religious conflict that produced
our culture wars Gay marriage, transgender rights, birth
control--sex is at the heart of many of the most divisive political
issues of our age. The origins of these conflicts, historian R.
Marie Griffith argues, lie in sharp disagreements that emerged
among American Christians a century ago. From the 1920s onward, a
once-solid Christian consensus regarding gender roles and sexual
morality began to crumble, as liberal Protestants sparred with
fundamentalists and Catholics over questions of obscenity, sex
education, and abortion. Both those who advocated for greater
openness in sexual matters and those who resisted new sexual norms
turned to politics to pursue their moral visions for the nation.
Moral Combat is a history of how the Christian consensus on sex
unraveled, and how this unraveling has made our political battles
over sex so ferocious and so intractable.
