A new way for Christians to think about sexuality
Author Miguel De La Torre, a well-respected ethicist and professor
known for his innovative readings of Christian doctrine, rejects
both the liberal and conservative prejudices about sex. He instead
develops an ethic that is liberative yet grounded soundly in the
Bible; a sexuality that celebrates God's gift of great sex by
fostering intimacy, vulnerability and openness between loving
partners.
In A Lily Among the Thorns, De La Torre examines the
Bible, current events, history and our culture-at-large to show how
and why racism, sexism, and classism have distorted
Christianity's central teachings about sexuality. The author
shows how the church's traditionally negative attitudes
toward sex in general--and toward women, people of color, and
gays in particular--have made it difficult, if not impossible,
to create a biblically based and just sexual ethic. But when the
Bible is read from the viewpoint of those who have been
marginalized in our society, preconceived notions about
Christianity and sex get turned on their heads. Taking on
hot-button topics such as pornography, homosexuality, prostitution,
and celibacy, the author examines how "reading from the
margins" provides a liberating approach to dealing with
issues of sexuality.
