Love Now, Pay Later? - Sex and Religion and the Fifties and Sixties

More about the book

Exploring the interplay between religion and social change, the book delves into the shifting moral attitudes of the 1950s and 60s. It challenges the notion that the 1950s were solely repressive, suggesting that the groundwork for the transformative changes of the 1960s was laid during the previous decade. Yates utilizes a diverse array of contemporary sources, including literature, media, and archives, to illustrate how evolving perspectives on morality and religion paved the way for the rapid social transformations that followed.
