How Far Can We Go? A Catholic Guide to Sex and Dating
Rarely do I have the opportunity to so enthusiastically recommend a book as theologian, spouse, and parent. Perrault and Salkeld have written a clear, engaging, and accessible volume that is doctrinally faithful to church teaching, theologically sound, and pastorally wise. More importantly, they have written that rare book on Catholic sexual ethics that might actually engage and even persuade your average teenager or young adult!Richard R. Gaillardetz, Joseph Professor of Systematic Theology, Boston College --Richard R. Gaillardetz, Joseph Professor of Systematic Theology, Boston CollegeThe authors are keenly aware of the omnipresence of the secular world and the powerful influence it has on young people. They know that Christianity is countercultural. Therefore, they approach controversial issues such as abstaining from intercourse prior to marriage, masturbation, and the use of contraception very gently and with great sensitivity. Nowhere, however, do they depart from Catholic orthodoxy.
