Description

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. Analyses feminist theory in philosophy and theology Uses recent work on the social context of early Christianity to develop a Christian sexual and sexual ethics Places Roman Catholic thought in the larger context of Christian ethics
