| Summary: | Christianity has reacted to the topic of sex in a wide variety of ways. Some Christians have rejected sex as inherently sinful, to be avoided at all costs. Many have viewed it warily, as something to tolerate in an imperfect world, to be kept within careful and rigidly narrow limits. Others have seen it as a wonderful gift from God.How should the Christian relate to sex? Does Scripture take a theological position toward it? Are all forms of sex proper for the Christian? What about the ethical issues raised by such practicies as abortion, premarital sex, homosexuality, artificial insemination, cloning, and genetic engineering?The author examines both the Scriptural concept of human sexuality and the ethical issues involved in the many sexual questions facing us today. - Part I The Theology of SexIntroductionThe Past and the Present in Sexual Attitudes"And Behold, It Was Very Good"Marriage as a ComplementSexuality as Image of God"And They Become One Flesh""And Man Became a Living Being"The Mystery of SexualityThe Spiritual Significance of MarriagePart II The Ethics of SexThe Ethics of Sex: An IntroductionPremarital SexDivorce and RemarriageHomosexualtiyContraception and SterilizationAbortionArtificial InseminationGenetic EngineeringFootnotes |
