Heavenly Bridegrooms - Ida Craddock - Bog

Heavenly Bridegrooms is a book written by Ida Craddock in 1918. The book explores the idea of sexuality and spirituality, and how the two are intertwined in religious practices. Craddock argues that the erotic nature of religious rituals and beliefs has been overlooked and misunderstood by scholars and religious leaders. She suggests that the concept of the ""heavenly bridegroom"" is a metaphor for the spiritual union between the individual and the divine, and that this union can be experienced through sexual expression. The book also includes a section on the history of sexual repression in religion and how it has impacted society. Despite its controversial subject matter, Heavenly Bridegrooms was well-received by some readers and has been cited as an influence on later feminist and sex-positive movements.Bibliography, With An Introduction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
