The Faithful

<p>Many believers accept traditional Christian sexual morality but have very little idea why it matters for the Christian life. In <em>Faithful</em> author Beth Felker Jones sketches a theology of sexuality that demonstrates sex is not about legalistic morals with no basis in reality but rather about the God who is faithful to us.</p><p>In Hosea 2:19-20 God says to Israel I will take you for my wife forever; I will take you for my wife in righteousness and in justice in steadfast love and in mercy. I will take you for my wife in faithfulness; and you shall know the Lord. This short book explores the goodness of sexuality as created and redeemed and it suggests ways to navigate the difficulties of living in a world in which sexuality like everything else suffers the effects of the fall.</p><p>As part of Zondervan's Ordinary Theology series <em>Faithful</em> takes a deeper look at a subject Christians talk about often but not always thoughtfully. This short insightful reflection explores the deeper significance of the body and sexuality.</p>
