A professor of sociology at Paul Quinn College, Dr. Charles Humphrey takes readers into the classroom for an intense scrutiny of Christianity, with Sex, Sin & Religion.

Theologians would enjoy a healthy discussion revolving around the theories that Dr. Humphrey presents.

He says Sex, Sin & Religion “is intended to provide individuals with insight into morality and sex by pointing out the relationship between sex, Christianity, and, indeed, mental illness.

No sugar-coating here. Dr. Humphrey talks about the positive and negative aspects of Christianity.

Definitely controversial, readers will find Sex, Sin & Religion informative and thought-provoking.

Citing studies, the author writes that both the “clergy and the laity suffer from mental or emotional disorders that can be traced to the influence of Christianity.”

Hinduism, Buddism, Judaism and Islam are also among the religions discussed in Sex, Sin & Religion The impact of Christianity, as well as its “far-reaching influence” will definitely be of interest to readers. An especially interesting segment focused on Christianity’s influence in the enslaving of Africans.
