This book provides a literary analysis of New Testament texts on
marriage, sex, family, and celibate ideals. It seeks to explore if,
how, and eventually to what extent the New Testament favors sexual
abstinence. The core of this study consequently consists of fresh
perspectives on the issue of sexual abstinence in the New Testament
through close readings of 1 Cor 7, Gal 3:28, Matt 19:10-12, and
Mark 12:18-27/Matt 22:23-33/Luke 20:27-40, with a keen eye to the
many ambassadors of abstinence in the texts-characters exhibiting
sexual abstinence given a favorable characterization and function.
As a comprehensive literary analysis of these texts from this
perspective lacks precedent in contemporary biblical scholarship,
the study is a valuable contribution to the ongoing scholarly
debate on the biblical views on sex and marriage.
