As My Own Soul: The Blessing of Same-Gender Marriage
SKU: 978-1-59627-118-0
|
Overview
Reach And Teach Says:
Chris Glaser has been an inspiration to our team since, well, it seems like forever. We're thrilled to have this book with biblical and spiritual perspectives on the marriage equality debate (AKA conflict). His scholarly and compassionate explorations make for a great read.
About the Book:
With the removal of sexual orientation as a bar to ordination in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), pending approval of a majority of presbyteries, and the Episcopal Church’s 2009 General Convention calling for the development of theological and liturgical resources for same-sex blessings, sexual orientation—especially with regard to marriage—is a central issue. Secularly, too, the topic is front-page news with the recent California same-gender marriage ruling and subsequent Proposition 8 vote and the update of the Massachusetts same-gender marriage law.
This book sets forth the case for religious institutions’ blessing of same-gender marriage, positing that same-gender marriage does not detract from the sacredness of heterosexual marriage, but rather enhances and nourishes the institution.
Chapters include:
“Claiming the Blessing”
“Deeper Than Scripture”
“Traditional Family Values”
“The Sacred Source of Marriage”
“Sex and the Body of Christ”
“Marriage As a Spiritual Discipline”
About the Author:
Chris Glaser, a graduate of Yale Divinity School, has published a dozen best-selling books on spirituality, sexuality, vocation, contemplation, sacrament, theology, marriage, and now, death.
