The Bible on Sex

The Bible on Sex: "What does the Bible really say about sex? Two new books written by university scholars for a popular audience try to answer this question. Infuriated by the dominance in the public sphere of conservative Christians who insist that the Bible incontrovertibly supports sex within the constraints of 'traditional marriage,' these authors attempt to prove otherwise. Jennifer Wright Knust and Michael Coogan mine the Bible for its earthiest and most inexplicable tales about sex to show that the Bible’s teachings on sex are not as coherent as the religious right would have people believe."
