{"product_id":"sexual-reformation-manitza-kotzzs-9781666708127","title":"Sexual Reformation?: Theological and Ethical Reflections on Human Sexuality","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 1666708127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666708127\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 Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Manitza Kotzé","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453861015807,"sku":"9781666708127","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6f871b7-1493-4a12-93e2-ddff899e5abd.jpg?v=1777302706","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sexual-reformation-manitza-kotzzs-9781666708127","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
