Robert Elliot Fitch is Professor of Christian Ethics and Dean of
the Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, California and this
sputtering scrutiny of our sexual attitudes appeared originally in
the New Republic and stirred considerable notice. Mr. Fitch' sex is
tested by literature rather than other media and Elinor Glyn,
Hemingway, Norman Mailer, Kinsey are his favorite witnesses as he
argues that it was the Puritans who made sex interesting-with the
allure of the taboo- while today, emancipated and satiated, sex is
just "biologic" and in a deep, intellectual freeze. More
fundamentally, and more morally, one can conclude that sex divorced
from love, and love from honor, leads to the real devaluation of
our time.... The sophistication here counters the suspicion that
this could also be a small sermon addressed to an intellectually
fashionable audience. (Kirkus Reviews)
