Sex Gender and Christian Ethics

Cahill addresses the ethics of sexuality marriage parenthood and family from a feminist Christian standpoint. She wants to reaffirm the traditional unity of sex love and parenthood not as an absolute norm but a guiding framework. The book also develops the significance of New Testament models of community and of moral formation to argue that the human values associated with sex and family should be embodied in a context of concern for society''s poor and marginalized. Roman Catholicism receives special but not exclusive attention.
