Body and Soul

Beschreibung

Ellison and Thorson-Smith have coedited a collection of essays--in collaboration with two dozen prominent theologicans--that plays off the controversial 1991 Presbyterian study they coauthored entitled Keeping Body and Soul Together: Sexuality, Spirituality, and Social Justice; and takes stock of sexuality, religion, and ethics at the beginning of the new millennium. The cutting-edge analyses address the possibilities--and demands--of a justice-love ethic for individuals, church, and society.
