Liberating sexuality
Book Description
In a bold examination of faith and intimacy, ethicist Miguel A. De La Torre challenges readers to reconsider deeply held assumptions about sexuality within Christian tradition. Drawing from extensive biblical scholarship, this thought-provoking work explores how religious communities have approached gender, sexual identity, and intimate relationships for centuries.
De La Torre invites readers on a journey of spiritual and intellectual discovery, examining topics that many faith communities have struggled to address openly. Through careful analysis of scripture and theological reflection, he presents fresh perspectives on understanding divine nature beyond traditional gender constructs and explores how justice principles can inform our most personal experiences.
This collection of scholarly writings addresses complex questions about sexual ethics, identity, and the intersection of faith with intimate human experience. Readers will encounter challenging discussions about racism within sexual preferences, alternative expressions of spirituality, and how different communities understand their own sexuality and relationships.
Rather than offering simple answers, De La Torre encourages wrestling with difficult questions and expanding one's capacity for understanding diverse perspectives on sexuality and faith. His work provides tools for critical thinking about how religious teachings have shaped attitudes toward intimacy and offers pathways for more inclusive theological reflection.
For those seeking to deepen their understanding of how spirituality intersects with human sexuality, this scholarly yet accessible exploration offers valuable insights into reimagining faith-based approaches to these fundamental aspects of human experience.
