Marilyn McCord Adams, Wil Gafney, A. Katherine Grieb, Louis Weil, Ellen K. Wondra, Rowan Smith, and Sylvia Sweeney, CONTRIBUTORS Christian Holiness & Human Sexuality is a study guide for Episcopalians who want to understand how all Christian people can exercise their baptismal vocation in the fullness of their sexual identity. This short booklet attempts to frame the discussion in a way different from how it has been addressed in many of the debates in our church and culture: How can we as Christians combine sexual expression with Christian holiness? Looked at afresh, what guidance do the Christian biblical, historical, theological, ethical, and liturgical traditions give us in answer to this question?

From the author of Out of a Far Country, which details his dramatic conversion from an agnostic gay man who put his identity in his sexuality to a Bible professor who now puts his identity in Christ alone, comes a gospel-centered discussion of sex, desire, and relationships. Dr. Christopher Yuan explores the concept of holy sexuality--chastity in singleness or faithfulness in marriage--in a practical and relevant manner, equipping readers with an accessible yet robust theology of sexuality. Whether you want to share Christ with a loved one who identifies as gay or you're wrestling with questions of identity yourself, this book will help you better understand sexuality in light of God's grand story and realize that holy sexuality is actually good news for all.

In Hermeneutics of Holiness , Naomi Koltun-Fromm examines the ancient nexus of holiness and sexuality and explores its roots in the biblical texts as well as its manifestations throughout ancient and late-ancient Judaism and early Syriac Christianity. In the process, she tells the story of how the biblical notions of "holy person" and "holy community" came to be defined by the sexual and marriage practices of various interpretive communities in late antiquity. Koltun-Fromm seeks to explain why sexuality, especially sexual restraint, became a primary demarcation of sacred community boundaries among Jews and Christians in fourth-century Persian-Mesopotamia. She charts three primary manifestations of holiness: holiness ascribed, holiness achieved, and holiness acquired through ritual purity. Hermeneutics of Holiness traces the development of these three concepts, from their origin in the biblical texts to the Second Temple literature (both Jewish and Christian) to the Syriac Christian and rabbinic literature of the fourth century. In so doing, this book establishes the importance of biblical interpretation for late ancient Jewish and Christian practices, the centrality of holiness as a category for self-definition, and the relationship of fourth-century asceticism to biblical texts and interpretive history.

An updated and expanded edition of a classic work on the Christian meaning of human sexuality by an acclaimed teacher and priest. The unique gift of human sexuality allows us to choose, or not to choose, to participate in one form of God's creation. This book presents the understanding of human sexuality that divine revelation offers us. It is intended primarily for Christian adults who wish to know what kinds of sexual behavior are right or wrong, and to gain true insight into why such behavior is right or wrong for those who seek to love and live in Christ. For sexual morality is part of the mystery of our life in Christ and makes full sense only when seen as such. Understanding of this Christian mystery, as far as we are given access to it, is offered us through the Scriptures and the living Tradition of the Church. This book uses Scripture and the teaching of the early Church Fathers to show what sexuality means in Christian terms, and is an indispensable guide to learning not just what the Church teaches, but why. Quay's insightful descriptions of the complementarity of male and female, a complementarity that is psychological, spiritual and bodily are exceptionally illuminating. It also explains the Bible's frequent use of the symbolism of marriage and sexuality in its accounts of the Covenant to understand better the relationship between God and his people, and the relationship of spouses to one another. It reflects on the natural symbolism of the human body and of spousal communion as a way to understand what is right and proper in sexual activity, and what is not. The new material in this expanded edition considers the theology of natural family planning (NFP). It explains the moral principles that govern the use of NFP and also provides a theological reflection on the meaning of this practice.

Venus and Virtue are a match made in heaven. While popular culture often tends to think of Christianity as negative about sexuality and sexual pleasure, the fact is that Christians have the best of reasons to joyfully celebrate sex as a gift. Unfortunately, there is as much confusion about sex in Christian circles as there is in the culture at large. The authors of this book believe that this confusion can only be adequately addressed by drawing from the deep wells of biblical truth and traditional theology. The writers, however, are not only experts in biblical scholarship, theology, and philosophy, but also pastoral ministry, counseling, pop culture criticism, and women’s issues. This book is not sexy in the typical sense of that word, but by situating sexuality within the cosmic drama of biblical revelation, the true beauty and goodness of sex most clearly emerges. And as that beauty emerges, we can begin to see why Christian morality not only makes profound sense, but also why it positively enriches the meaning of sex in ways that far outstrip the sexy secular alternative.

Look what people are saying about Sex and the Kingdom! "It is with much enthusiasm that I endorse and recommend "Sex and the Kingdom" as a book needed to bring a healthy understanding of human sexuality in an hour that is increasingly carnal, Godless, decadent and immoral. Bishop Yelverton lays out for us a Godly perspective of sexuality, which indeed is a subject that many churches and individuals within the Body of Christ will not approach. In this book, he has remained true to his Pentecostal Holiness roots, as well as his theological training. It is a must read for all students and scholars who are serious about the Word of God and the future of the Lord's Church. Indeed it appears that we are losing the battle for what is moral and decent, and these kinds of writings are necessary for us to indeed hold the banner high for holiness and that the Bible is still our rule of faith and practice." Bishop Donald Hilliard, Jr., D. Min. The Cathedral International Perth Amboy, New Jersey" Much debate is taking place in sanctuaries across the nation about same sex marriages and regrettably the discussion ends there. Bishop Yelverton has pushed the envelope and the dialogue over the cliff with no parachute. Sex and the Kingdom should not just be read by every believer but debated, meditated and taught. The celibate to the promiscuous will be captivated by every page." Pastor Jamal H. Bryant Empowerment Temple Baltimore, Maryland "My brother and friend Bishop Yelverton has expressed his heart to help realign the church's understanding of sex as designed by God. This book gives a clear picture that we should get our viewpoint of sex from God's word alone. Sex and The Kingdom will instruct you on biblical scriptures regarding sex and sexuality because it reflects the Kingdom and God's intent on sex. This book is a must read."

A Handbook that contains Authentic, Updated Information, and Answers Sensitive Questions about Human Sexuality and Gender Diversity It gives fresh Biblical and Theological Insights, shows how the Indian Churches and Theological Colleges are responding to Unheard Voices from the Sexual Minorities, and includes Medical, Psychological and Legal Responses to questions and statements like: - Human Sexuality? Why discuss such dirty/sinful issues in a holy place like the Church? - Lesbians and Gays don't exist in India - they come from the Western countries. - Wasn't Sodom destroyed because of homosexuality? Isn't that what the Bible says? - Sexual Minorities are dangerous to our churches and communitiesthey shouldn't be allowed in. - Can a person showing homosexual or transgender tendencies be cured by prayer or medicine or psychiatry? This pathbreaking Handbook jointly published by the National Council of Churches in India [NCCI], takes a candid look at the issues of human sexuality and gender diversity from a Christian point of view. It boldly takes up issues which many Christians feel are taboo, and which the Church all too easily sweeps under the carpet or keeps hidden in the guise of purity and holiness. It is a 'readyreckoner' for Church leaders, pastors, laypeople, women's groups and the youth of the Church, for students of theology, for personnel working in Christian organizations, and also for other faith communities seeking to understand and come to grips with these sensitive topics. It offers what could possibly be a Christian response, and reminds readers of the tolerance, acceptance and love that Jesus Christ showed to the marginalized and those considered 'sinners' in his own time. The Editor, Philip Kuruvilla, is an ordained minister in the Indian Orthodox Church. He has been working with the National Council of Churches in India and the Christian Conference of Asia in the field of Human Rights, HIV & AIDS, and Sexual Minority issues.
