Om denne bog
•A wide-ranging theological reflections offering a fuller and richer Christian understanding of human desires and behaviours. •Future understandings of sexuality are likely to arise out of ground-up thinking, not top-down theories. This book will resource such thinking. •Transcends the divisive approaches traditionally taken in exploring these issues. We live in a world that prizes gratification of desire. But what if this pressure to satisfy our wants instead makes us settle for lesser imitations? What if the problem with desire is not that we want what we can’t have, but that we don’t want it enough? What if desire itself - the gap between wanting and having - is the key to living well?Holiness and Desire explores these questions and the challenges they pose to modern living. Drawing on sources from the Bible to literature and social media, Jessica Martin considers what a distinctive holiness might look like within the distorting pressures of our highly sexualized modern culture.Nominated for the 2023 Michael Ramsey Prize.
