Opis

Historically, the Bible has been used to drive a wedge between the spirit and the body. In this provocative book, David Carr argues that the Bible affirms erotic passion. Sexuality and spirituality, he contends, are intricately interwoven; the journey toward God and the life-long engagement with our own sexual embodiment are inseparable.

Recenzje

"An excellent book on an important topic-a remarkable combination of readability and scholarship, sexuality and spirituality."—Marcus J. Borg, author of Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time and Reading the Bible Again for the First Time
