In \u003ci\u003eGod and Sex\u003c\/i\u003e, Coogan examines one of the most controversial aspects of the Hebrew Scripture: What the Old Testament really says about sex, and how contemporary understanding of those writings is frequently misunderstood or misrepresented. In the engaging and witty voice generations of students have appreciated, Coogan explores the language and social world of the Bible, showing how much innuendo and euphemism is at play, and illuminating the sexuality of biblical figures as well as God. By doing so, Coogan reveals the immense gap between popular use of Scripture and its original context. \u003ci\u003eGod and Sex\u003c\/i\u003e is certain to provoke, entertain, and enlighten readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Coogan\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of Publications for the Harvard Semitic Museum and Professor of Religious Studies at Stonehill College.
