Roots of the Christian virtue of chastity

[AkronPonderer]

Where did the virtue of chastity come from and how did it develop?

 

[John_Taylor]

Where did the virtue of chastity come from and how did it develop?

See the second section of the following article from the Catholic Encyclopedia on Chastity:

The Practice of Chastity
newadvent.org/cathen/03637d.htm

The virtue of chastity is as old as the human race although the article asserts that “nder Christianity chastity has been practised in a manner unknown under any other influence” and goes on to explain why.

Hope the article helps.
