From popular teacher and writer Bronwyn Lea, a biblical invitation to healthy
male-female relationships by creating a vision beyond stilted and unhelpful
don't-touch/don't-talk rules.
When it comes to relationships between men and women in the church, we've got
more questions than answers. How can men and women be in community when not
married? Or if married, with people not our spouses? Can men and women be "just
friends"? How can we date wisely and well? What does it mean to be a woman if
you're not a wife? Or a man if you're not a husband? How can we be in healthy, close
relationships if we're single?
In Beyond Awkward Side Hugs, Bronwyn Lea lays out a biblical vision for relationships
between men and women in the church. Jesus' pattern for church living was one of
family, of brothers and sisters living in intimate, healthy community with each other.
Doing so calls for character and wisdom, for charting a path toward relationships that
acknowledge gender but aren't sexualized, that go beyond the awkwardness of
simplistic don't-touch/don't-talk rules.
Rooted in Scripture and attested by personal and pastoral stories, Beyond Awkward
Side Hugs is an invitation to relationship theology that moves beyond unhealthy,
eroticized, fear-based patterns and toward gendered, generous relationships between
men and women of character, loving one another as Jesus did.
