ABSTRACT
The Old Testament is a reflection of its times and does not seem to have one particular view on sex and relationships. It includes moving love stories, such as the story of Ruth and Boaz; detailed accounts of incest, such as that concerning the two daughters of Lot in Genesis 19, whose incestual relationship with their father has the intention of assuring his line; and there are numerous tales of seduction and sexual revenge. Many of these are recounted in a factual way, without judgement. Sex is even celebrated in the Song of Songs.
