Description: "Historically, the Bible has been used to drive a wedge between the spirit and the body. In this 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."--BOOK JACKET.
