The first three chapters were tough to get through as he highlights the teachings of radical pagan theorists. I thought this might end up being one of those "look how dumb the other side is" type book in the culture wars.
But then the book exploded into one of the most well thought out explainations of how our theology and sexuality intertwine. He presents sexuality as a sacrament of who God is and thus different sexualities represent different gods. It was a scripturally and intellectually rich book and am suprised that it is not a higher seller.

In this most helpful volume Dr. Peter Jones proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that your view of God and reality will profoundly influence your view of sex. This is a must read for people on both sides of the various debates over gender, gender roles, and sexuality in the Church and society. Dr. Jones does occasionally use loaded language and little asides that will anger some, but not nearly as much as in his other books. By and large this book is a reasoned and kind.

The first half is an explanation of Christian and Pagan world-view and how sex is intimately connected to and profoundly affected by our view of the world. Each view is present in our culture in various ways, and Dr. Jones shows effects these view have had and are having in society. The second part, worth the price of the book alone, is a clear, easily understandable, and comprehensive exposition of the bible's teaching on sexuality. Whether you hold a traditional view of sex or a more "progressive" one you will want to read this section carefully.

This book is timely and a must read for all if for no other reason than to get a new (or old depending on your point of view) perspective on the debates over sex, marriage, and sexuality
