Every story entails a way of life and how every way of life implies
a big story. In Every Body's Story, Branson Parler focuses on three
predominant myths of sexuality in our secular age--individualism,
romance, and materialism--and three dominant myths in Christian
circles--anti-body theology, legalism, and the sexual prosperity
gospel--exploring how those stories shape our practice. Our views
of sexuality and our practices around sex are never just about sex.
How we use and view our bodies reveals who/what we think God is (or
is not) and who we are. If we truly understand the biblical logic
of marriage, sexuality, and singleness--that they are meant to
embody the gospel--then we will better understand why this witness
is so vital. As God's self-giving faithfulness is put on display by
both married and single Christians, those formed by our secular age
will have to ask: What if it's true? What if there's more? What if
God really does love us that much? Rather than viewing our
sexuality as an isolated matter of ethics, we can see how the
gospel places our sexuality in the context of God's rescue mission
of the world.
