quisitlou oi knowledge and an association betwen knowledge and sexuality he says Father Bnins who analyscs the Christian sexual heritage in book entitled The New Moral ity edited by another St Ml chacisproicssor William Dun phy says the Old Testament is filled with antisexual and anti feminlst taboos and he lists number of thoroughly evil women who figure in the biblical narratives There was Potiphars wlio who tried to seduce Joseph Dc lllah who was Samsons harbor and his undoing and Jezebel who has become synonym for the thoroughly hateful woman And he adds if Christianity is to rid itseli of this nntisex hangover it must construct meaningful sexual morality tor today Father Eruns rejects the Bible as reliable ethical guide because of the contrast oi moral preceptssome of which
