Walter and Ingrid Trobisch and the Globalization of Modern, Christian Sexual Ethics

More about the book

The Trobisches significantly influenced discussions on love, sex, gender identity, and marriage in the mid-20th century through Walter's widely read book, I Loved a Girl. Released in 1962, it sold over a million copies and was translated into seventy languages, prompting thousands of readers to seek their guidance. They established an international marriage counseling ministry to address these inquiries. Despite their paternalistic views typical of their era, their insights into sexuality aided Christians in both Africa and the U.S. in adapting to evolving sexual norms.
