![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Said Keller, “The teaching went far beyond the Christian sex ethic to argue that you should not ‘date’ or even kiss someone unless you were sure you were going to marry them. “ Purity culture ” generally refers to an evangelical movement that took place in the 1990s and which, among other ideas, emphasized not having sex before marriage and promoted courtship over dating. Abstinence Is Part of Historic Christianity The first laws vs rape & sex without consent grew from this Christian ethic…Since then, every branch of the Christian church-orthodox, Catholic, & Protestant-in every culture and in every century has taught the ethic of sexual abstinence outside of marriage. This ethic replaced the (wrong) Greco-Roman model of sexuality-that men of higher status, even if married, were allowed to demand sex with anyone of lower social status. ![]()
