The Paradox of a Christian Sexual Ethic

Shadi: I find a lovely paradox within the Christian sexual ethic we're hearing it from Christine in that you do want to take your partner seriously as someone who's made in the image of God. And yet also a Christian sexual ethic should involve a lightheartedness, a playfulness, joy, she says. Shadi: If sex means everything then there's like constant pressure to be having it and getting it right each time. We don't know how to hold those things together in a sort of progressive secular culture,. She adds. "I personally find the Christiansexual ethic helps me hold those thingstogether"
