An amazing book- you need to read this!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Erotic Justice: A Liberating Ethic of Sexuality (Paperback)
Erotic Justice is the culmination of a lifetime of Christian sexual ethics work. Ellison clearly states that a heathly egalitarian sexuality can be formed using the Christain model of love. He reasses the power dynamics of heteropatriarchy. This book is essential for any Christian, feminist, or ethicist, in fact, anyone interested in justice. His writing is clearly approachable and compassionate. Read this book!
