Others may hold up the Bible as                 the ultimate moral guideline when it comes to sex and human                 sexuality. A close reading of the Bible reveals that while its                 rules and lessons about sex and sexuality may not be applicable                 to all people at all times, this sacred scripture does offer                 surprising insight into our modern sexual lives. \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eThis intriguing guide demystifies the                 Bible, synthesizing basic historical, theological, literary and                 linguistic ideas about the Bible’s texts with our modern                 attitudes about sex. Thoughtful new translation and provocative                 commentary bridge the divide between biblical authority and our                 present-day views on gender roles, marriage, sexual                 orientation, virginity, lust and sexual pleasure. Drawing from                 Hebrew and Christian scripture, it examines the ways that the                 language of religion and the language of sex intersect. \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eNow you can discover what the Bible says                 about sex with no previous background in theology or religious                 history. This SkyLight Illuminations edition offers insightful                 and engaging commentary that explains the historical context                 and religious worldviews of those who wrote the Bible as well                 as the role their perspectives play in current social debates.                 You will be encouraged to form your own opinion about what the                 Bible has to say about sex and gain a deeper understanding of                 your own sexuality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eWe earn a commission for purchases made through the following links.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1594732175\/ref=nosim?tag=tpcecomm-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Amazon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003c!-- bookshop-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/book\/9781594732171\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Bookshop.org\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/bookshop-buylink --\u003e","brand":"Theresa J.
