What it is

Dr. Juli Slattery's central claim is that Christians have inherited a set of sexual prohibitions without an underlying theology of what sexuality is for, and that a rule with no reason behind it collapses the moment it costs something. Rethinking Sexuality builds that theology first and works outward: how God's design frames intimacy, why sexual brokenness is universal rather than exceptional, and how to engage the questions of a culture that has thought about this far more carefully than most churches have. It also introduces the concept of sexual discipleship — treating sexuality as an area of formation rather than an area of policing. Published by Multnomah. This is the book to give a leader who wants to build something in their church, and the one to read before any of the tactical recovery titles here, because it supplies the frame the tactics assume.
