Product Overview

An explosive, fascinating book that reveals how the Bible cannot be used as a rulebook when it comes to sex. A terrific read by a top scholar. Bart Ehrman, author of Misquoting Jesus

Boston Universitys cutting-edge religion scholar Jennifer Wright Knust reveals the Bibles contradictory messages about sex in this thoughtful, riveting, and timely reexploration of the letter of the gospels. In the tradition of Bart Erhmans Jesus Interrupted and John Shelby Spongs Sins of Scripture, Knusts Unprotected Texts liberates us from the pervasive moralizingthe fickle dos and dontsso often dictated by religious demagogues. Knusts powerful reading offers a return to the scripture, away from the mere slogans to which it is so often reduced.
