Sexuality and the Religious Imagination

Sexuality and the Religious Imagination by Bradley A. TePaske explores the relationship of Christianity and sexuality, investigating the tendency of established Christian thought to disregard the sacred meaning of sexuality. Looking at different historical stages of Christianity and illuminating with insights from Hinduism and religions of the ancient world, TePaske notes the impact of patriarchy in reifying a dualistic separation between spirit and body. This book lends energy and insight to the project of uniting spirit, soul, the body, sexuality, and imagination as core aspects of religious experience.
