A review by icgerrard
Sex and the Constitution: Sex, Religion, and Law from America's Origins to the Twenty-First Century by Geoffrey R. Stone

5.0

Really excellent overview of the topic. Starts with ancient mores, even goes into Pelegianism and Augustine (as it should) and continues all the way to modern times. Unfortunately, I learned basically nothing new due to my particular background. So if you have a background in the classics, patristic theology, an intermediate knowledge of the history of Protestantism and Catholicism, and you’ve also finished a law school level con law class, you’ll probably learn nothing from this text. However, I definitely recommend it to everyone else. Good overview of the rise of the culture wars especially. I did learn that Phyllis Schlafly was at least suggested to the president as a Supreme Court appointment. The horror.

Also I don’t know if it’s just the edition I listened to but it needs an afterward or update to include Bostock.
