Paul and Pagan Sexual Ethics

If you think Paul is a bit too harsh in Rom. 1:26-28, consider this image from ancient Rome (sadly, I could not bring myself to post it on the blog, be warned, it is pretty explicit).

  1. Steve, you sure are getting a lot from that one picture.

  2. Hey Mike, do you have any other information (not pictures!) on where this image was located? Palace? Private residence? Temple?

  3. Mike -- to make a minor correction, the image you linked is a fresco of many similar images from Pompeii, not Rome. I just completed a course on Pompeii in the spring and we actually studied some of these images. (!)
