- Summary
- "Seeks to identify what scripture and tradition say about sexuality, focusing on ... sexual theology, men's issues, and biomedical ethics. [The author] blames a faulty dualism that separates body and spirit for distoring the meanings of masculinity, making modern medicine confusing, and fueling militarism, racism, and ecological abuse"--Back cover.
