Anotace knihy

Historically, the Bible has been used to drive a wedge between the spirit and the body. In this provocative book, David Carr argues that it can - and should - do just the opposite. Sexuality and spirituality, Carr contends, are intricately interwoven: when one is improverished, the other is warped. As a result, the journey toward God and the life-long engagement with our own sexual embodiment are inseparable. Humans, the Bible tells us, both male and female, were created in God's image, and eros - a fundamental longing for connection that finds abstract good in the pleasure we derive from the stimulation of the senses - is a central component of that image. The Bible, particularly the Hebrew Bible, affirms erotic passion, both eros between humans and eros between God and humans. In a sweeping examination of the sexual rules of the Bible, Carr asserts that Biblical "family values" are a far cry from anything promoted as such in contemporary politics. He concludes that passionate love - our preoccupaton therewith and pursuit thereof - is the primary human vocation, that eros is in fact the flavoring of life.
