Seller's Description:
Very Good-in Very Good-dust jacket. 0880292504. Scarce title on what else but dirt, originally published in 1971. Edge foxing, front endpaper excised. Jacket with faint rubbing, toning, moderate spine fade, a few tiny tears.; 8vo 8"-9" tall; 182 pages.
The author sheds much needed light on the literally dirty side of Christianity and Europe. He exposes how and why the practice of bathing was - and in some places still is - against the policy and religion of Christianity. He shows how they honored, and preferred coprophilia - better known as the LOVE OF FILTH.
He exposes how bathing even once a year was considered too much bathing. He says that Christians used to brag about how long it had been since they last bathed, and that in fact many of them had never bathed at all. One of the things I found most intriguing was what the requirements were to become labeled as a SAINT!
In order to become a saint, one had to find the most diseased, pus oozing, dirty person they could and wash their feet with their hair. More than that, they had to lick their pus filled sores and orifices clean. Wow! Personally I couldn't put this page turner down until I had finished it. If you are a truth seeker, then you won't put it down either. Every friend I have is reading this book across America!
