Redeeming Sex: The Battle for the Body (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798888702987)

The project of redeeming sex involves the battle for the body, one that is fought on many fronts in this book: the need for a philosophical and theological anthropology on the nature of the human person, particularly the body that has a proper subjectivity encompassing the whole man; the foundation of sexual ethics in a normative creation order/natural law and its relation to the flourishing of persons and communities, and the cultural and religious dynamics that contributed to the sexual revolution and the rise of homosexualism, same-sex marriage, and gender ideology. In a wide-ranging discussion of a theology of revelation, doctrinal development, and a perspective on philosophical ethics and moral theology, the sources of Christian ethics are considered, as well as the nature of human experience and judgment, and how a theory of experience grounds a sound epistemology but also a sound metaphysics for Christian ethics. The author also considers the moral and theological underpinnings of the nature and purpose of pastoral care of individuals in morally and spiritually problematic relationships.
