The Meaning of Sex: Christian Ethics and the Moral Life Paperback - 2009
by Dennis P. Hollinger
From the publisher
From the rear cover
Good Sex Is Found in the Meaning of Sex
In a culture deeply confused about sex and sexual ethics that often sends conflicting messages--at times promoting an "anything goes" attitude while at other times seeking to impose limits on sexual behavior--and a church that frequently responds with simplistic answers, the real meaning of sex has been largely lost. In this book, Dennis Hollinger counters the confusion, arguing for an inherent, God-given meaning to sex. This meaning provides a framework for a wholistic biblical sexual ethic that adequately addresses contemporary moral issues such as premarital sex, sex within marriage, homosexuality, reproductive technologies, and faithful living in a sex-saturated world.
"Dennis Hollinger addresses the complex issues of sexuality with a rare combination of theological-philosophical expertise, cultural savvy, and pastoral sensitivity. In doing so, he goes beyond general references to 'love and justice' to take seriously the specifics of what the Bible says about this most intimate area of our lives. The Meaning of Sex is a much-needed 'for such a time as this' book."--Richard J. Mouw, Fuller Theological Seminary
"Debates and dialogues about sexual ethics spin in circles unless we clarify 'the meaning of sex.' Indeed, what sets apart a truly Christian sexual ethic is that it is founded on the distinctive meanings of sex and sexuality established by God and revealed in the Scriptures. Hollinger's book articulates these foundations persuasively and then mines them to clarify the most pressing ethical and moral challenges facing the church today."--Stanton L. Jones, Wheaton College; author, Ex-Gays? and God's Design for Sex
"One of the greatest needs today of young and old alike is to rediscover the liberating freedom that accompanies understanding and experiencing sex in all its God-ordained glory. Dennis Hollinger has given us what I believe to be the best contemporary treatment on this timely subject. This is not just a book for ethicists. I'll be recommending it as a must read for all pastors, parents, youth workers, and young adults."--Walt Mueller, The Center for Parent/Youth Understanding

Baker Academic Publishing, 2009. Paperback. New. A clean crisp well preserved 2009 Baker Academic Publishing recent printing softcover in a fine tight binding. Little to no shelf wear. Text is bright and free of marks or underling. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Our culture is not only sex-crazed but also deeply confused about sex and sexual ethics. Unfortunately, Christians seem equally confused, and the church has tended to respond with simplistic answers. The reason for this confusion is that the meaning of sex has been largely lost. Dennis Hollinger argues that there is indeed a God-given meaning to sex. This meaning, found in the Christian worldview, provides a framework for a biblical sexual ethic that adequately addresses the many contemporary moral issues.
