God, Sexuality and the Self is a new venture in systematic
theology. Sarah Coakley invites the reader to re-conceive the
relation of sexual desire and the desire for God and - through the
lens of prayer practice - to chart the intrinsic connection of this
relation to a theology of the Trinity. The goal is to integrate the
demanding ascetical undertaking of prayer with the recovery of lost
and neglected materials from the tradition and thus to reanimate
doctrinal reflection both imaginatively and spiritually. What
emerges is a vision of human longing for the triune God which is
both edgy and compelling: Coakley's theologie totale questions
standard shibboleths on 'sexuality' and 'gender' and thereby
suggests a way beyond current destructive impasses in the churches.
The book is clearly and accessibly written and will be of great
interest to all scholars and students of theology.
