Historically, the Bible has been used to drive a wedge between the
spirit and the body. In this provocative book, David Carr argues
that it can-and should-do just the opposite. Sexuality and
spirituality, Carr contends, are intricately interwoven: when one
is improverished, the other is warped. As a result, the journey
toward God and the life-long engagement with our own sexual
embodiment are inseparable. Humans, the Bible tells us, both male
and female, were created in God's image, and eros-a fundamental
longing for connection that finds abstract good in the pleasure we
derive from the stimulation of the senses-is a central component of
that image. The Bible, particularly the Hebrew Bible, affirms
erotic passion, both eros between humans and eros between God and
humans. In a sweeping examination of the sexual rules of the Bible,
Carr asserts that Biblical "family values" are a far cry from
anything promoted as such in contemporary politics. He concludes
that passionate love-our preoccupaton therewith and pursuit
thereof-is the primary human vocation, that eros is in fact the
flavoring of life.
