It also examines the public pronouncements and secretive internal documents of the central Catholic Church, offering a ground-breaking new explanation of the Pope\u0026amp;#x27;s decision to prohibit the Pill in 1968. The material gathered here offers a fresh perspective on the idea that \u0026amp;#x27;sex killed God\u0026amp;#x27;, reframing dominant approaches to the histories of sex, religion and social change. The book will be essential reading not only for scholars of sexuality, religion, gender and oral history, but anyone interested in social and cultural change more broadly. -- .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920514629790,"sku":"ING-9781526155955","price":47.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526155955.jpg?v=1782822658","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526155955","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
