REL 231 - History of the Christian Church

Course Notes

 

Week 2

Page 46 - The textbook lists some professions which were considered incompatible with Christianity, and includes "anything to do with prostitution"
The Didache, pronounced DID-ah-KHAY, written in the second century, advised that prostitutes who were slave-girls might be allowed to be baptised, because they had no choice in their profession but had to do whatever their owners hired them out for.
