This work of constructive theology examines human sexuality in light of Christian faith and doctrine. Jensen moves beyond the hot-button social debates about sexual orientation and sexual practices to look for healing. The seven chapters consider Scripture and sex; the connections between the triune, covenantal God and human sexuality; Christ's incarnation and resurrection as affirming the beauty of flesh; eschatology and sexual identity; the ramifications of the Lord's Supper for human sexuality; vocation and Christian callings to marriage, celibacy, and singleness; and sexual ethics.

If a consensual sex act is joyous, intimate, faith-affirming, and legal, then Jensen seems to have no strong objection to it. Most endearing of all is his admission that the Bible, while still the preeminent guidebook for Christian faith, is mildly outdated on many matters of human sexuality. Jensen combines Biblical theology with writing of Church fathers, theologians, and contemporary philosophers to come to a modern interpretation of classical theology. This new theology comes to understand and delineate the motivations of celibacy, singleness, premarital sex, and marital sex inside their own contexts and offers the reader a new way of thinking about each one. The writing does tend to get a bit graphic at times, but you have to remember that you did choose to read a book about human sexuality, and this one may be one of the better books out there for this. A thought-provoking and enlightening read. ( )
