From the Publisher
"...scholars interested in the intersection of religion, gender, and sexuality would do well to read... the accessible writing that engages with questions about "porn addiction" and the role of congregations in individual believers' lives also makes Addicted to Lust a helpful read for nonspecialists in the field. Perry successfully balances a text that religious leaders, counselors, lay believers, and scholars can all read and come away with critical insights." — Courtney Ann Irby, Illinois Wesleyan University
"This volume is an excellent contribution to scholarship about religion and sexuality in the United States. It is well written, methodically researched, and highly accessible to lay readers and undergraduate students. I would recommend its inclusion in undergraduate and graduate courses on the sociology of religion, religion and sexuality, and American Protestantism. Its excellent methodological appendices also make it a candidate for methods courses." — Orit Avishai, Fordham University, Sociology of Religion"The accessible writing that engages with questions about 'porn addiction' and the role of congregations in individual believers' lives also makes Addicted to Lust a helpful read for nonspecialists in the field.
