Sexuality and the Sacred: Sources for Theological Reflection

Capa
James B. Nelson, Sandra P. Longfellow
Westminster John Knox Press, 01/01/1994 - 406 páginas
This volume is rooted in two convictions: first, sexuality is far more comprehensive and more fundamental to our existence than simply genital sex, and, second, sexuality is intended by God to be neither incidental nor detrimintal to our spirituality but a fully integrated and basic dimension of that spirituality. The authors address what our sexual experience reveals about God, the ways we understand the gospel, and the ways we read scripture and tradition and attempt to live faithfully.
