Book otherwise in excellent condition. Content: "Divorce ... adultery ... premarital sex ... homosexuality. "What does the Bible say about these issues? What can we learn about morality - old and new - from biblical authors? "For answers to these questions, turn to Sex in the Bible. This modern perspective on sexuality in biblical times can clarify your thinking on the ideal role of sex in your own life. It illuminates the meaning of certain biblical passages that speak of sex by explaining the underlying reasons their authors had for writing them, and it even illustrates how beliefs on divorce change and progress within the Bible itself. Sex in the Bible also presents surprising and sometimes shocking revelations about some strange-sounding biblical statements - like a law in Deuteronomy that prescribes insoluble marriage between a rapist and his victim! "If you was wondering how the Scriptures apply to your modern life - to your own sexuality and moral standards - read Sex in the Bible." (from the jacket) Background / Biography: "Michael R Cosby was a minister to college students for five years and is currently finishing his Ph D at Emory University."

Quote from this book "Understanding what is said in the Bible about matters such as sex, marriage, divorce and homosexuality can be like going on a jungle safari if you have never ventured far from home in the city. You need a guide. The terrain is unfamiliar and the language and customs of the jungle dwellers are vastly different from your ow. Your guide may interpret for you what the people are saying, but the meaning of their words will probably remain puzzling unless he also explains something about the beliefs and customs of the people. You are so accustomed to thinking in terms of Western cultural standards that you might easliy misinterpret what people say dure to the tendency to impose your own cultural concepts upon their words." from p3 Secondhand booksellers |
