Synopsis

From Rob Bell, the author of the phenomenal New York Times bestseller Love Wins and a Christian pastor named by Time Magazine as one of the most influential people in 2011, comes Sex God, an enlightening exploration of sexuality and spirituality. With profound beauty and insight, Bell addresses the truism that we can’t talk about ourselves as sexual beings without asking who made us that way. For progressive Christians and readers who enjoy the writings of Donald Miller, N.T. Wrighter, Brian McLaren and Timothy Keller, Rob Bell is a pioneer among those seeking a new kind of Christian teaching.  


What if sexuality isn’t something to be repressed or indulged, but a pathway to understanding God?


  • Sexuality and Spirituality: Uncover why the word "sex" is related to "sever," and how our deepest longings for connection are profoundly spiritual.
  • Angels and Animals: Move beyond the false choice between indulgence and repression to discover what it means to be a fully integrated human being, body and soul.
  • Love and Vulnerability: Explore why true love requires giving up control and why the story of the cross is God’s ultimate expression of vulnerable, world-changing love.
  • Marriage with a Mission: Learn how a marriage is more than a partnership—it’s a living picture of God’s echad (oneness) in a fractured world.

From the Back Cover

"You can't talk about sexuality without talking about how we were made. And that will inevitably lead you to who made us. At some point you have to talk about God. Sex. God. They're connected. And they can't be separated. Where the one is, you will always find the other."

—from Sex God
