       lifestyle -- Bride of Christ -- Was Jesus married? 
520    Approaching the subject of Jesus' marital status from a 
       fresh, historical perspective and without appealing to 
       sensationalist stories or dismissing Jesus' sexuality on 
       theological grounds, Le Donne places Jesus firmly within 
       his sociocultural context. By investigating gender and 
       marriage norms -- as well as a number of social outliers 
       who defied them -- he provocatively argues that Jesus 
       might have been married before he was thirty years of age.
       Le Donne then points to several indicators that suggest 
       that Jesus was a sexual non-conformist and probably was 
       single during his public career. It is a quest that 
       illuminates the humanity of Jesus, while also revealing 
       important connections between ancient sexuality and modern
       spirituality.
