Discourse related to sex excites passion and debate, partly because
sexuality is a central aspect of what it means to be human.
Following up on his recent book on sexuality in the Septuagint,
William Loader here explores what the Christian Gospels and related
writings have to say about sexuality, how they reflect the faith
and social values of their day, and what impact they've had on our
own.
"Sexuality and the Jesus Tradition is thorough in its
investigation and compelling in its analyses. Loader examines all
of the passages that convey views about sexuality in the Gospels
and other first-century literature, including the "Gospel of
Thomas, and the influence in Paul of the Jesus tradition. Among the
interesting topics covered are attitudes concerning lust,
perspectives on marriage and divorce, and views about celibacy.
Loader shows how, despite the passing of two thousand years and
massive social change, these ancient texts contain common issues
that we still grapple with today.
