Sexuality, Marriage, and Family: Readings in the Catholic Tradition

by Paulinus Ikechukwu Odozor (Editor)

This comprehensive volume brings together an impressive array of Christian writers to examine sexuality, marriage, and family from the perspective of scripture, ancient Christian writers, Christian history, the official teachings of the Catholic Church, and contemporary theological reflection. As useful as it is profound, Sexuality, Marriage, and Family offers an in-depth exploration of the moral and ethical considerations surrounding issues such as sexuality, divorce, remarriage, conception, and sexual equality. It is an invaluable resource for college-level courses on marriage, parish-based marriage preparation courses, and the general reader who wishes to explore the issues, debates, and development of the Catholic tradition on sex, marriage, and family.
