Sexual Ethics

Publisher Description

The modern era has witnessed enormous changes in our understanding of sexuality and marriage. In this biblically grounded study, Stanley Grenz synthesizes theology, ethics, and current medical research to offer an evangelical perspective on the profound role that sexuality does, and should, play in our lives today.Discussing such issues as marriage in a Christian perspective, sexuality within and outside of marriage, divorce, birth control, homosexuality, and singleness, Grenz takes a holistic view of sexuality as a gift woven into all aspects of our being -- an approach often absent when evangelicals speak publicly on sexuality. He calls for Christians to live a biblical sexual ethic in the contemporary world, at the same time calling on the church to recognize that its mandate includes being a reconciling community, one that proclaims God's grace to all.
