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 Breaking with outdated conventions, McCleneghan explains how the Bible and Christian tradition inform our beliefs about desire, pleasure, nudity, fidelity, premarital sex, and the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.

La dedicación de la Iglesia

Teología, eclesiología y liturgia se entrelazan en este completo estudio sobre la evolución del ritual de dedicación de las iglesias a lo largo de los siglos. Un rito expresivo que, a través de sus palabras y gestos, enmarca el sentido último de la celebración litúrgica. El autor se detiene especialmente en el análisis de las diversas ediciones del Ponti ficale Romanum (1595, 1961 y 1977), destacando el sentido eclesiológico que subyace en cada una de ellas y su vocación mistagógica.

Petrus Romanus

Read the book that predicted the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI one year in advance and the election of "The Final Pope." How did the authors know this would happen, and what does it mean for the future? For more than 800 years scholars have pointed to the dark augury having to do with “the last Pope.” The prophecy, taken from St. Malachy’s “Prophecy of the Popes,” is among a list of verses predicting each of the Roman Catholic popes from Pope Celestine II to the final pope, “Peter the Roman,” whose reign would end in the destruction of Rome. First published in 1595, the...
