Divine Communion: A Eucharistic Theology of Sexual Intimacy

Divine Communion: A Eucharistic Theology of Sexual Intimacy

First text to place sexual ethics in a sacramental/liturgical context. Designed to meet the General Convention mandate for â€œtheological reflectionâ€ around issues of sexuality and marriage. Appropriate for study regardless of gender or orientation. Before Christian communities try to address sexual ethics, the more fundamental theological question demands attention: What can sexual intimacy tell us about God? This book invites reflection on sexual relationships within a broad theological framework marked by creation, fall, and redemption. These classical hallmarks of Christian faith are proclaimed and enacted at every liturgical celebration of the Eucharist, which offers a compelling way to engage the link between sexual intimacy and the longing for God, or the hoped-for promise of â€œdivine communion.â€
