How do they witness the Good News of the Gospel in an area of human experience that too often in the churches has been associated with sin, silence, fear and shame? Even in Christian marriage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eservices, sex doesn't get a mention; in fact, the Christian tradition rarely discusses sex at all, whether before, during or after marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChristian Sex Today\u003c\/em\u003e is a serious consideration of this omission, an exploration of how contemporary Christians can respond to the complex realities of how sex can be discussed, affirmed, celebrated and lived by people for whom the Jesus tradition promises life in its fullness, whether they are young, old, single, engaged, gay, married, divorced or widowed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJason John brings to the task rare combinations of theology, biblical scholarship and academic qualifications in zoology. These gifts enable him to trace the evolution of sex over billions of years, its varied and different expressions, the development of its function within societies as life - including the human species - adapted to changing conditions and the pressures of survival and growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book takes seriously the teachings of the Christian traditions - from Old and New Testament - but asserts the limitations of these ancient sources, for example the limitations of their understandings of human origins, now vastly expanded thanks to the insights of cosmologists, geologists, evolutionists, geneticists and ecologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove all, the book is a genuine attempt to make sense of sex - in all its possible expressions - within a Christian tradition, and faithful to the good news.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason John\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 064880447X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780648804475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coventry Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.29d","brand":"Jason John","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127487557887,"sku":"9780648804475","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ac03462-c868-426d-aee3-dbf1e7429714.jpg?v=1687453671","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christian-sex-today-jason-john-9780648804475","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
