Raw, intimate, and timely, Nadia Bolz-Weber's latest book offers a
full-blown overhaul of our harmful and antiquated ideas about sex,
gender, and our bodies. Christians are obsessed with sex. But not
in a good way. For nearly two thousand years, this obsession has
often turned destructive, inflicting pain, suffering, and guilt on
countless people of all persuasions and backgrounds. In Shameless,
Bolz-Weber calls for a reformation. To make her case, she offers
experiences from her own life and stories from her parishoners
alongside biblical theology to explore what the church has taught,
and the harm those teachings have caused. Along the way, she
re-examines patriarchy, sex, and power with candour but also with
hope, because in her heart she believes the "Gospel is powerful
enough, transgressive enough, and beautiful enough to heal not only
the ones who have been hurt but also those who have done the
hurting." This is by far Bolz-Weber's most personal book yet,
revealing intimate and emotional details about her life while
offering a reading experience that is as entertaining and affirming
as it is intellectually robust and liberating. For anyone who has
been harmed by the shaming sexual messages so prevalent in
religion, this book is for you.
