Loader, William

Sexuality in the New Testament : Understanding the key texts / William Loader. - London : SPCK, 2010 - viii, 166 pages ; 22 cm

Engaging the far and the near : where to begin --
'With a man as a woman' --
Model marriage and the household --
Adultery, attitude and disorder --
Divorce and remarriage --
Has sex a future? The question of celibacy --
Conclusion : 'sex on the brain'? Love and hope. Because the New Testament was written in a distant social, cultural and religious setting, interpreters often find themselves embroiled in heated conflict over meaning and application. No more so than in the field of sexuality and sexual ethics.
