Thinking about Sex

Very many people, including not a few Christians, do not find the Christian tradition very helpful for making sense of sex. It is not that people willfully forsake a demanding sexual ethic for a more easygoing worldly one. It is that they often cannot see the point of its demandingness. Adrian Thatchers project lays out a wholeheartedly liberal approach to sex and sexuality. Using theological ideas, biblical passages and Christian doctrines, Thatcher places them intelligibly in a twenty-first-century context. Subjects covered include desire, bodies, sexual difference, marriage, spirituality, and sexualities.
