For two millennia Christianity has embraced fairly consistent views
of human sexuality. Today, there exist more varied outlooks on the
subject. This volume on Christianity in the The Library of Essays
on Sexuality and Religion series overviews the contrasting
Christian perceptions of sexuality. Part 1 includes a number of
previously published articles that are theological in nature and
present biblical interpretations of sexuality. Here, several
Christian voices are permitted to speak from their varied
perspectives, both conservative and liberal. Part 2 features
contributions focusing on the Christian tradition of celibacy and
asceticism. Part 3 surveys scholarly work emphasising the
relationship between sexuality, gender and patriarchy. Part 4
offers academic interpretations of Christian expressions of
sexuality through the mediums of worship, ritual and the
sacraments. The final part peruses contemporary contestations of
conventional Christian views. This is undertaken by presenting
articles examining views of gay sexuality, assisted human
reproduction and priestly celibacy.
