Sex, Gender, and Christian Ethics

New Studies in Christian Ethics

by Lisa Sowle Cahill

Cahill addresses the ethics of sexuality, marriage, parenthood and family from a feminist Christian standpoint. She wants to reaffirm the traditional unity of sex, love and parenthood, not as an absolute norm, but a guiding framework. The book also develops the significance of New Testament models of community and of moral formation, to argue that the human values associated with sex and family should be embodied in a context of concern for society's poor and marginalized. Roman Catholicism receives special but not exclusive attention.

[Brynna · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn't read as much of this as I should have for my Christian Ethics class, but what I did read was enjoyable. It was dense reading and some of the chapters seemed repetitive but it was great for discussion.
