Sexuality and the Christian Body: Their Way Into the Triune God Hardcover - 1999 - 1st Edition

by Eugene F. Rogers


First line

Christians have always been debating some practical issue about the body - be it the celibacy of priests, the veneration of icons, the cult of relics, the freeing of slaves, the ordination of women, or the blessing of same-sex unions.

From the rear cover

Sexuality and the Christian Body addresses the challenges to traditional Christianity by gay and lesbian Christians and their critics within the church. This controversial book will be welcomed for the radical new insights it provides into Christian arguments about the body.

Rogers starts by offering description and rigorous analysis of both conservative and liberal conceptions of the body within the church, exposing similarities between apparently opposing positions. Drawing on the work of Barth, Geertz, Aquinas and others, he then goes on to constructively reconnect doctrines like incarnation, election, and resurrection with race, gender and sexual orientation. In a final section he offers arguments for the fittingness in the Christian tradition of marriage-like homosexual relationships.
