A Christian Guide to Liberating Desire, Sex, Partnership, Work, and Reproduction: Sex [This chapter analyzes and counters the Christian tradition’s tendency to disparage sex. Sex should not be limited to within marriage for procreation. Sex can be a way to know God. Beginning with the understanding of sexual desire as an impetus to be in relation, good sex involves play, communion, and the holy, bringing us into closer relation with each other and God. Beginning with a definition of “having sex,” this chapter explores the sex-negative historical context and articulates how to have good sex with reference to the biblical tradition, the Christian tradition, and theology.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter analyzes and counters the Christian tradition’s tendency to disparage sex. Sex should not be limited to within marriage for procreation. Sex can be a way to know God. Beginning with the understanding of sexual desire as an impetus to be in relation, good sex involves play, communion, and the holy, bringing us into closer relation with each other and God. Beginning with a definition of “having sex,” this chapter explores the sex-negative historical context and articulates how to have good sex with reference to the biblical tradition, the Christian tradition, and theology.]
