description: Annotation:Nothing gives church folk anxiety quite like the subject of sex. And that's why in Shameless Pastor Nadia sets out to reclaim the conversation for a new generation. In the spirit of Martin Luther Bolz-Weber calls for a reformation of the way believers understand and express their sexuality. To make her case Bolz-Weber draws on experiences from her own life as well as her parishoners' then puts them side by side with biblical narrative and theology to explore what the church has taught and about sex and the harm that has often come as a result. Along the way Bolz-Weber reexamines patriarchy gender and sexual orientation with candor but also with hope--because as she writes I believe that the Gospel can heal the pain that even the church has caused.
