Smedes's \u003ci\u003eSex for Christians\u003c\/i\u003e offers a frank yet compassionate discussion that is refreshingly open-minded and strongly biblical. The book is divided into three major sections. The first, \"Sex and Christian People,\" overviews human sexuality -- its created goodness, its sinful distortions, and its redeemed potential -- what we are as human sexual beings. Part Two, \"Sex and Single People,\" and Part Three, \"Sex and Married People,\" are about sexual behavior in each succeeding stage of life -- the things we do as sexual beings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the addition of an extensive epilogue, Smedes brings his text into clear focus with today's pressing issues -- AIDS, cohabitation, homosexuality, and the need to develop Christian strategies regarding sex. And with the hindsight of two decades since \u003ci\u003eSex for Christians\u003c\/i\u003e first came out, Smedes presents an even stronger statement of his two sources of authority: the Bible's moral standards regarding sex, and the authority of reality as we discern it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSmedes's attempt to present \"a Christian perspective for a truly human sexual life\" has resulted in a sexual morality that, within a biblical perspective, is as liberating as it is limiting.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsidered one of the definitive statements on sex and sexuality from a Christian perspective, Sex for Christians offers frank yet compassionate discussion that is at once refreshingly open-minded and strongly biblical. Broad-ranging and direct, the book begins with a theological overview of human sexuality - its created goodness, its sinful distortion, and its redeemed potential. Lewis Smedes then treats specific sexual issues for single and married persons, presenting plain-spoken yet responsible perspectives on such things as erotic fantasies, petting, and adultery. This revised edition also features an extensive new introduction by Smedes that brings his original work to bear on pressing issues today - AIDS and talk of \"safe sex\", cohabitation, homosexuality, and the need to develop Christian strategies regarding sex. Following two decades of social development since this book first appeared, Smedes now presents an even clearer statement of the Bible's moral standards regarding our sexuality. His attempt to present \"a Christian perspective for a truly human sexual life\" results in a sexual morality that, within a biblical perspective, is as liberating as it is limiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 244\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.97 x 6.01 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 09, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42593475395680,"sku":"9780802807434","price":44.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/L3RFRVpCUGlhMXMreTllV0JsV2sxUT09.webp?v=1771520148","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/sex-for-christians-the-limits-and-liberties-of-sexual-living-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
