Unprotected Texts: The Bible's Surprising Contradictions About Sex and Desire – Liberating Scripture from Moralizing

â€œAn explosive, fascinating book that reveals how the Bible cannot be used as a rulebook when it comes to sex. A terrific read by a top scholar.â€ â€”Bart Ehrman, author of Misquoting Jesus

Boston Universityâ€™s cutting-edge religion scholar Jennifer Wright Knust reveals the Bibleâ€™s contradictory messages about sex in this thoughtful, riveting, and timely reexploration of the letter of the gospels. In the tradition of Bart Erhmanâ€™s Jesus Interrupted and John Shelby Spongâ€™s Sins of Scripture, Knustâ€™s Unprotected Texts liberates us from the pervasive moralizingâ€”the fickle dos and donâ€™tsâ€”so often dictated by religious demagogues. Knustâ€™s powerful reading offers a return to the scripture, away from the mere slogans to which it is so often reduced.
