Good Christian Sex

Resumen del Libro

Moving beyond the deep-seated cultural feelings of shame that have long fueled the conflict between Christianity and sex—and the belief that there is only one right and valid way to practice one’s sexuality—this renowned University of Chicago pastor uses enlightening personal stories and examples from theology to show how sex is powerful and holy. For years, Christians have been told to adhere to one singular path when it comes to sex: abstinence and purity. Yet this limited focus ignores the reality that people’s sexual and romantic lives differ widely, even among those who consider themselves devout believers. Church leaders have often refused to address the topic—or have preached in ways that are harmful to the emotional and spiritual growth of the faithful in the pews. Pastor McCleneghan is determined to reshape the issue—and fundamentally transcend this disconnect between sexuality and spirituality that has left many Christians feeling guilty and sinful. Written in her measured, non-judgmental voice, Good Christian Sex combines humorous personal anecdotes with theological research to transform how Christians think and talk about this basic human need, offering a new understanding that reconciles human love and religious faith. Breaking with outdated conventions, McCleneghan explains how the Bible and Christian tradition inform our beliefs about desire, pleasure, nudity, fidelity, premarital sex, and the variety of sexual practices, and encourages Christians to talk about their bodies, their sensuality, and their longings in a frank, positive, and realistic way. Warm, insightful, and honest, Good Christian Sex is a message of hope, that at last lifts the veil of shame felt by many religious people.

Los valores de los grandes hombres

Este libro muestra que valores universalmente aceptados como la paz, la humildad, el coraje, la justicia, la libertad, el altruismo, la coherencia, la responsabilidad, la bondad o la amistad, entre otros, no son meras teorías o ideas brillantes, propias de los libros de texto, sino motivaciones que han encarnado en sus vidas grandes hombres y mujeres de nuestra historia. Así pues, Gandhi está irremediablemente unido a la consecución de la paz, y Churchill es un ejemplo de coraje ante los reveses de la vida. San Francisco de Asís está asociado a la bondad; Elías Canetti a la tolerancia; ...
