Publisher's Description
What do Christians believe about human sexuality? In Mere Sexuality, author and pastor Todd Wilson presents the historic Christian consensus about human sexuality, the Great Tradition of the church for centuries as taught in each of its major expressions - Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant. Wilson highlights the stunning shift of opinion on issues of sexuality in the evangelical church and why this break with the historic church is problematic for the future of Christianity. Along the way he provides ordinary believers with an introduction to the historic Christian vision of sexuality, yet does so in conversation with some of the twenty-first century's leading challenges to this vision. In a culture that is deeply confused about human sexuality, Wilson believes it is time for evangelicals to retrieve the historic Christian tradition and biblical teaching on the question of sexuality. Mere Sexuality seeks to guide readers back to the beauty and coherence of this vision of sexuality in the face of an aggressive and all-consuming pagan and secular worldview.

“Mere Sexuality is a faithful, readable navigation through questions of sexuality, pointing toward the gospel and our truest identity as sons and daughters in Christ. In our sexually confused times, this book has clarity and conviction. Todd Wilson has given us a thoughtful, sensitive, and, above all, deeply Christian book about sexual morality and marriage. It brings into the foreground the power and beauty of the biblical understanding of marriage as a truly conjugal bond—a joining of hearts and minds, yes, but one founded upon the biological union made possible by the sexual-reproductive complementarity of male and female. Pastor Wilson shows us that the Christian “no” to sexual sins is rooted in the profound Christian “yes” to the goodness of truly conjugal union. Todd Wilson offers an orthodox, holistic, and compassionate treatment of this most powerful, perplexing, and delightful gift from God. Mere Sexuality is exceptional, not only in offering a compelling argument for God’s ideal for human sexuality, but also in addressing with pastoral understanding and care the ways we fall short.”
