SEXUAL INDULGENCE AND CHRISTIAN SPIRITUALITY

Abstract

Sexual Indulgence and Christian Spirituality is concerned with a vast array of issues such as premarital and extramarital sexual relationships, conscience formation, youth and abortion, contraception, peer pressure, sexual immorality in relation to Christian spirituality among others. The implication of the above is that the management of our sexuality and living authentic Christian life to a great extent depend on obedience to the commandments of God regarding sexual relationships. This is even more apt in the face of challenges of sex and sexual behaviours which have been revolutionized with the aids of technological advancement. In the background, an attempt was made to cover the key aspects of human sexuality and its relatedness to the spiritual life of Christians. This book which is a restructured version of the author's thesis in theological studies is written for several target audience including young and old, married and unmarried. It is equally valuable for Christians and non-Christians. The book is made up of nine chapters focusing on various aspects of sex and sexual relationship as regards human existence. It draws its principles from the biblical injunctions and the teachings of the church. It is envisaged that this book widens the reader's knowledge in human sexuality and aids in living a happy and fulfilled life based on principles of Christian spirituality.
