Christian books on sexuality

[Ave Maria]

Hey all! I'm looking for some good Christian oriented books about sexuality. I don't care if it's conservative or liberal or even moderate. I am just trying to establish what I believe and so I am reading a variety of stuff. I am currently reading "Living in Sin? A Bishop Rethinks Human Sexuality" by Bishop Spong.

I recently saw a book called something along the lines of "The Bible and Homosrxuality: Two Views".

There's a couple of specific texts reviewed here on the homosexuality issue. There's lots of other discussions; Google up "the Marriage Bed", there's a site offering at least some Christian views on sexuality.

As always, a polite reminder that WWMC is not one of the forums where we get to have sexuality debates.

Hmm, that sounds interesting. I may check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

I can warmly recommend you Paul Evdokimov's book The sacrament of love.

There are lots of books on this, but I don't know whether practical books such as these are worth reading unless you have a solid foundation of faith. So in my opinion to address the question of sexuality and marriage it might be better to read a book on Paul's letters to the Corinthians or a book on Justification or a book on Jesus' preaching or a book on the Christian life or something of that sort. But if you want something direct, Instone Brewer has written a lot on what the Bible has to say about marriage.

I would recommend "Good News about Sex and Marriage," by Christopher West.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1569552142/qid=1111647126/sr=2-2/ref=pd_ka_b_2_2/103-7767237-6159058

I would also recommend "Love and Responsibility," by Karol Wojtyla aka Pope John Paul II.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0898704456/qid=1111647295/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/103-7767237-6159058

I also second the recommendation above made by Verushka, "Sacrament of Love," it is an excellent book.

There's also Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body, which comments on sexuality, love, celibacy...pretty much everything.
