"…this rather densely packed tome has some interesting arguments and thoughts … its strength is in the questions it raises and encourages the reader to engage with." — Quest Bulletin"This book invites readers to consider more closely the historical, contemporary, and future relationships between sex and death, by recognizing the already intimate connection between the two … It is a welcome addition to libraries, accessible not only to scholars but likely best suited to late undergraduate students, graduate students, and seminarians." — Marriage, Families & Spirituality"[Jung's] discussions of sexual ethics are particularly strong in that they are based not only in Christian tradition, but also in extensive biological research, the social sciences, and contemporary theory. Jung manages all this while remaining clear and jargon-free, making the text accessible and readable to students at all levels." — Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology"This book makes an important contribution to our thinking about sexual ethics." — Currents in Theology and Mission"Jung's volume advances efforts in Christian ethics to affirm sexual pleasure as a human good. The chapters on low sexual drive and pornography meet a need for sustained moral reflection on these topics. The eschatological perspective Jung adopts treats human embodiment seriously without limiting Christian sexual ethics to an ethics of responsible reproduction. The book deserves attention from scholars, students, and pastoral leaders." — Theological Studies"…intriguing, and occasionally amusing … Whether you want reminders of biblical texts, Church Fathers, Aquinas, Kant, Internet sources, or a small throng of current thinkers, this is a volume that will spark many a thought." — Reading Religion"Expansive in its overview and scope, Jung's book is a 'must-read' for undergraduate and graduate newcomers in the field of Christian sexual ethics. For those more seasoned, it is a powerful reminder that our work as theologians and disciples is ongoing." — Horizons"The book provides a valuable, alternative reading of Christian eschatological thinking about resurrected bodies and a sensitive, refreshing, and candid discussion about sexual delight." — Adrian Thatcher, author of God, Sex, and Gender: An Introduction
