The Influence of Purity Culture on Christianity in the 1990s and 2000s
During the 1990s and early 2000s, purity culture strongly influenced Christian teachings on sexuality, promoting abstinence until marriage. The movement, known for campaigns like True Love Waits and purity rings, aimed to preserve sexual purity. However, the emphasis on rules and fear within purity culture led to shame-based approaches, overlooking the grace of the Gospel. The shift towards a fear-driven perspective strayed from the core teachings of Christianity, causing harm and disillusionment.
