A fresh look at the Bible reveals a richness of insight about sex and sexuality
For some people, the Bible’s
perspectives on sex may seem too one-dimensional or antiquated
to apply to modern-day life. Others may hold up the Bible as
the ultimate moral guideline when it comes to sex and human
sexuality. A close reading of the Bible reveals that while its
rules and lessons about sex and sexuality may not be applicable
to all people at all times, this sacred scripture does offer
surprising insight into our modern sexual lives.
This intriguing guide demystifies the
Bible, synthesizing basic historical, theological, literary and
linguistic ideas about the Bible’s texts with our modern
attitudes about sex. Thoughtful new translation and provocative
commentary bridge the divide between biblical authority and our
present-day views on gender roles, marriage, sexual
orientation, virginity, lust and sexual pleasure. Drawing from
Hebrew and Christian scripture, it examines the ways that the
language of religion and the language of sex intersect.
Now you can discover what the Bible says
about sex with no previous background in theology or religious
history. This SkyLight Illuminations edition offers insightful
and engaging commentary that explains the historical context
and religious worldviews of those who wrote the Bible as well
as the role their perspectives play in current social debates.
You will be encouraged to form your own opinion about what the
Bible has to say about sex and gain a deeper understanding of
your own sexuality.
