Description

Is the Church too negative about sex? Beginning with this provocative question, Fr. Lawrence explores the history of the Church's attitude toward sex and marriage, from the Old Testament through the Church Fathers. He makes the case both for traditional morality and for a positive acceptance of marriage as a path to theosis.
