Description
Sexual identity has become an idol in both the culture at large and in the Christian subculture. Anthropologist Jenell Williams Paris offers a Christian framework for sexual holiness that accounts for complex postmodern realities. The end of sexual identity moves beyond culture-war impasses to open up new space for conversations in diverse communities both inside and outside the church.
