Dirt, Greed, and Sex: Sexual Ethics in the New Testament and Their Implications for Today

Front Cover
Fortress Press, 2007 - Religion - 349 pages
This new revised edition, of the landmark 1988 text, includes updated text and notes throughout, taking advantage of recent studies of sexual ethics and, where appropriate, criticizing them. A new chapter engages the presumed "ethic of creation7" that has become a major theme among more conservative thinkers and writers in biblical ethics. A concluding chapter on sex is thoroughly rewritten and offers a positive statement of a New Testament sexual ethic.
