Human sexuality and the nuptial mystery
Book Description
This thoughtful collection emerges from a theological consultation that sought to move beyond divisive arguments about sexuality and marriage, offering instead a deeper spiritual perspective on these fundamental human experiences. Rather than engaging in polarized debates, these essays approach intimate relationships through the lens of Christian theology, exploring how sexuality and marriage serve purposes far greater than individual satisfaction.
The contributors present a compelling vision where sexual intimacy and marital union become pathways to spiritual maturity and selfless love. Instead of focusing on personal fulfillment, this theological framework reveals how these relationships direct us outward toward our partners, our communities, and future generations. The authors examine how intimate partnerships can foster genuine growth, deepen our spiritual lives, and contribute to the broader good of both church and society.
The book unfolds in two complementary sections. The first delves into the theological and ethical dimensions of human sexuality, seeking to understand the true nature of relationships within a spiritual context. The second section explores marriage as a spiritual reality, tracing how Christian thought has understood marriage and family throughout history.
For readers seeking a mature, theologically grounded approach to sexuality and relationships, this collection offers wisdom that transcends contemporary cultural debates. It invites couples and individuals to discover how their most intimate relationships can become vehicles for spiritual transformation and service to others.
