Sex & Gender
The field of sexual ethics is widely studied in graduate school religion programs and seminaries, but lacks a definitive resource for the classroom. This teacher-friendly anthology aims to fill that gap. Featuring nine of the most important essays on the subject, all of which have appeared in the Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics or its predecessor, the Annual of the Society of Christian Ethics, this collection covers a wide range of topics: same-sex marriage, sexual minorities and biblical interpretation, sex and power, sexual harassment and sexual abuse, HIV/AIDS and prevention strategy, the military and masculinities, mobile porn and sexting, human trafficking, moral discernment, and more. Contributors represent a broad range of theological traditions, and draw on scriptural texts as well as such disciplines as philosophy and sociology and psychology and the life sciences. Each chapter includes reflection questions and suggestions for further reading, and the book includes an index.
Making Love Just
"These days sexual sin is far less about sex and far more about the misuse of power and exploitation of vulnerability. It's time to redraw the ethical map. But how should a contemporary Christian ethic of sexuality be formulated? Marvin Ellison, a pioneer in contemporary Christian rethinking of sexuality and sexual ethics, uses a series of provocative questions to increase readers' skills and confidence for engaging in ethical deliberation about sexuality. Students and all adults will welcome this book for enabling their personal clarity, approach to relationships, and mindful participation in respectful moral debate." -- Publisher description.
Sexual Morality
Informal customs have become the norm for most young adults in matters of sexual intimacy. Unfortunately, the sexual revolution has not proven to be as beneficial to women as was hoped, and society offers young men little preparation for future roles as husbands and fathers. In this book, Father Piderit argues that a natural law approach to morality provides a grounded pathway toward marriage, and shows why these fairly traditional practices help young people find a partner whom they can realistically promise to love until death do them part. Offering theory but focusing on practice, this book helps young adults understand why sexual intimacy should be reserved for marriage. The first two se...
Sex, Ethics, and Young People
Sex, Ethics, and Young People brings together research and practice on sexuality and violence prevention education. Carmody focuses on showing how the challenges faced by young people negotiating their sexual lives can be addressed by a six week interactive skill based Sex and Ethics Program.
The Meaning of Sex
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. The Meaning of Sex provides a good balance between accessible theology and engaging discussion of the practical issues Christians are facing, including premarital sex, sex within marriage, homosexuality, reproductive technologies, and faithful living in a sex-obsessed world.
4 Views on Talking to Teenagers about Sex
Sex is essential and awkward, divine and messy, seemingly simple and yet often incredible complex. It's no wonder we as youth workers often struggle with how best to approach this vast but critical topic with teenagers-and sometimes avoid bringing it up altogether. 4 Views on Talking to Teenagers About Sex reflects the thoughts, experiences, and practical advice of four in-the-trenches youth workers, who have spent years having these conversations with the teenagers in their ministries. Representing an array of viewpoints, these writers don't agree on everything-but they all know that our conversations with teens about sex must speak to God's design, avoid shame, and go far beyond any one in...
