The Mutual Society

This book briefly surveys the traditional teaching of the Christian Church about the relationship of men and women, and then examines some of the new factors which have made necessary a critical reassessment of it, particularly of those emphases which are negative. One of the most powerful of these factors is the emancipation of women and the recognition that they are not of a lower status than men. Against this background the inner meaning of sexuality is examined, and stress is laid on both the difficulties and the opportunities of the new situation. Mr. Greet believes that we must guide the revolution in sexual relationship towards the creation of a society in which men and women make their free, equal-though-differing contributions to the richer texture of life which is God's will for them both in marriage and within the wider life in the community.
