The Embrace of Eros: Bodies, Desires, and Sexuality in Christianity
"Eros has been politicized and sexualized, but how can it be theologized? This anthology offers fresh perspectives on Eros, desire, and sexual identities in the long Christian tradition and provocative insights in Erotic Theology. Well-conceived and written in accessible language, this volume is invaluable for both students of theology and the educated public." --Kwok Pui-lan, William F. Cole Professor of Christian Theology and Spirituality, Episcopal Divinity School"In wrestling with Eros, these theologians reframe nearly every theme of classical theology. Their learned, passionate essays will touch, tickle, and sometimes trouble the theological consciousness of everyone who is ready to follow to its radical conclusions the ageless premise that God is love." --Kathleen Sands, Associate Professor of American Studies, University of Hawaii, Manoa
