Scripture and sex: narratives of desire -- God and sex: holy desire -- Christ and sex: the resurrection of the body -- Eschatology and sex: making all things new -- Lord's Supper and sex: a sumptuous banquet -- Vocation and sex: living in light of desire -- Ethics and sex: flourishing desire.
"This work of constructive theology examines human sexuality in light of Christian faith and doctrine. Jensen moves beyond the hot-button social debates about sexual orientation and sexual practices to look for healing. The seven chapters consider Scripture and sex; the connections between the triune, covenantal God and human sexuality; Christ's incarnation and resurrection as affirming the beauty of flesh; eschatology and sexual identity; the ramifications of the Lord's Supper for human sexuality; vocation and Christian callings to marriage, celibacy, and singleness; and sexual ethics."--Publisher's website.
