It also contains a useful subject index to those five previous volumes.In examining thoroughly all the relevant writings and related evidence of the Greco-Roman period, Loader dialogues with scholarship related to each writing in order to make his conclusions as objective as possible. By enabling the reader to listen respectfully to these ancient texts, "Attitudes towards Sexuality in Early Jewish and Christian Literature" provides a basis for informed discussion of sexual issues today.
