{"product_id":"sexual-reformation-manitza-kotz-9781666708110","title":"Sexual Reformation?","description":"Inasmuch as \"sex\" and \"sexuality\" are not words often spoken from pulpits and in academic theological circles, a vast number of utterances have been made in the name of so-called \"Christian values\" and \"biblical views\" on sex and sexuality. These are often given from moral-ethical perspectives, and seemingly very prescriptive: who should have sex with whom, when sex should take place, which purposes sex should serve--and especially, when sex is wrong. Moreover, often there is little or no recognition of the complexities surrounding human sexuality, resulting in what appears to be a blueprint for sexuality, applicable to all persons. This volume contains fourteen theological and ethical reflections by South African scholars on human sexuality, with the aim of exploring what a sexual reformation within Christian dialogue might entail. Presented in three sections--namely, systematic theological reflections, biblical reflections, and ethical reflections--the essays represent a range of topics from a variety of perspectives: Luther and marriage; sexual abuse in the Catholic Church; body theology and the sexual revolution; reproductive technologies, sexuality and reproduction; reproductive loss; hermeneutical choices and gender reformation in (South) Africa; queer engagements with \"bra\" Joseph; explorations on Paul and sex; rape culture and violent deities; the church's moral authority and sexual ethics; practical-theological considerations regarding infertility; empirical research on masculinities in Zambia; and the lived experience of transgender people in African Independent Churches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Manitza Kotzé\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1666708119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666708110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pickwick Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Manitza Kotzé","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056416977151,"sku":"9781666708110","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82533ef8-df46-49fd-8b59-71569f53d473.jpg?v=1685041199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sexual-reformation-manitza-kotz-9781666708110","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
