This much-needed volume draws on a wide range of resources and
brings together a collection of leading scholars in the field to
examine debates about theology and sexuality. Material is drawn
from a variety of ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary texts
to provide readers with a broad perspective on the issues
discussed."
Theology and Sexuality" takes on one of the most controversial
contemporary theological issues, providing new insights into
Christian arguments about the body. Discussions cover
homosexuality, the meaning and perception of the body in community,
and the fittingness of the Christian tradition for marriage-like
homosexual relationships. The Reader includes work from theologians
and ethicists on both sides of the theology and sexuality debate,
avoiding the tired conservative-liberal impasse by organizing
selections under theological rubrics like christology, trinity,
anthropology, and church. An introductory essay provides a useful
overview of the debate and explains the relevance of the selected
readings.
This volume combines classical and contemporary resources,
making it the definitive reader in the field. Classical resources
include the Bible, the Liturgy, Augustine, John Paul II, and never
before translated selections from Aquinas and Karl Barth.
Contemporary contributors include Marilyn Adams, Stanley Hauerwas,
Mark Jordan, Andrew Sullivan, and Rowan Williams. This volume will
be of particular use to students of systemic theology or moral
theology; students studying sexuality of the body in other
disciplines; the clergy; and general readers interested in current
theological debates.
