About This Event

Mary Beard and Diarmaid MacCulloch on the History of Sex, Gender and Christianity

In the twenty-first century, Christianity or historically Christian societies have witnessed one of the most extraordinary revolutions in attitudes to sex and gender in human history, bringing liberation for some and fury and fear for others. Understanding the history of Christianity and its influence on our cultural identity is essential to understanding debates around the role of women in society, same-sex relationships and the public exploration of gender and trans identity.

On March 3, Diarmaid MacCulloch, one of Britain's foremost experts on the history of Christianity, and Mary Beard, acclaimed and award winning classicist best known for her work on the history of women and power, come to Intelligence Squared to help us understand the 3000-year-long story of Christians, and Jews before them, encountering sex, gender and the family.

Join us live at Union Chapel to explore the glorious complexity and contradictions in this history and ask your questions in the audience Q&A.
