The Marcella Project - A podcast by Rev. Dr. Jackie Roese - Wednesdays
Categories:
My kids, raised in the '90s, experienced the purity movement that swept our evangelical churches. Remember the rose? Every time you have sex, you pluck a petal off until you only have a thorny stick to give your husband. For most of our listeners, that's what they know of the purity movement, but let's go back a bit and see if we can't understand more about this movement and its impact on our thoughts about sex today. Today we are talking with Kristin Kobes Du Mez. Kristen holds a Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame and is a history and gender study professor at Cavin College. Her research focuses on the intersection of gender, religion, and politics.
