Differences Between Women And Christianity

Difficulty Paper 3 The perspective of women and their sexual rights differ from Judaism to Christianity, as well as from other religious or cultural beliefs. In Christianity, women are perceived as having no sexual desires, which has undermined women’s sexuality throughout history.
