“This essay is ahead of its time, and it’s a helpful read for Christians who have walked away from sex-negative traditions but don’t want to walk away from God or the idea that sex can be sacred. Some of it sounds old fashioned to me now, but when I was in grad school these ten pages really helped me get past some personal hangups around sexuality.”
