WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY DOES (AND DOESN’T SAY) ABOUT SEX: THE HOW, WHEN, WHY, AND WITH WHOM OF SCRIPTURAL PROHIBITIONS AND PERMISSIONS
Book ID/图书代码： 12580016B88607
English Summary/英文概要： People are constantly judged for their sexual choices, their frequency of sexual activity, their selection of partners, and their decisions regarding birth control, and much of this judgment stems from the element of culture perhaps most preoccupied with sex: religion. What the Bible Really Does (and Doesn’t Say) about Sex addresses this often unhealthy and troublesome relationship between sex and religion. Focusing principally on Christianity, it examines the arguments religious moralizers and sanctimonious politicians make to condone or condemn certain sexual practices and lifestyles. But do they even get it right? What does scripture really say about the how, when, why, and with whom of sex? Is homosexuality really an abomination? Is abortion murder? Is premarital sex a sin? The answers may surprise you: the Bible does not always make the claims those who wave it passionately in the air say it does. In fact, the Bible often says nothing at all about many of the practices and lifestyles the faithful argue so vociferously for, or against. By setting the biblical record straight, this book offers highly compelling arguments for those who want to keep religion off their bodies and out of their bedrooms. It also reminds puritanical crusaders that, before they thump their Bible on street corners or in campaign speeches, they should perhaps read and understand it first.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 人们经常审判他们的性选择，性活动，性伙伴和他们关于生育控制的决定，这种判断大部分源于也许是最关注性别的文化：宗教。《关于性，圣经真正讲了（或没说）什么》解决了性和宗教之间这种往往不健康和麻烦的的关系。主要专注于基督教，它探讨宗教说教者和道貌岸然的政客宽恕或谴责某些性行为和生活方式的争论。但他们甚至正确理解了吗？圣经是怎么说的，如何、何时、为什么以及与谁发生性关系？同性恋真的是罪恶吗？？堕胎是谋杀吗？婚前性行为是一种罪过吗？答案也许会让你感到惊讶：圣经上的内容并不总是那些激昂的人所宣称的那样。事实上，圣经根本就没有写许多忠实争论支持或反对的生活方式。通过直接展示圣经的记录，这本书为那些想要身体脱离宗教和将其赶出他们卧室的人提供了非常有说服力的论据。这也提醒了清教徒的十字军，他们在街角或在竞选演说中强有力地引用圣经前，首先他们或许应该阅读并理解它。(LNL)
