Synopsis

"The ultimate source of the book is the author's own pastoral experience. He writes in the conviction that science--biology, sexology, psychology, sociology--can provide valuable information on particular aspects of relations between the sexes, but that a full understanding can be obtained only by study of the human person as a whole. Central to the argument is the contrast between the personalistic and the utilitarian views of marriage and of sexual relations between human beings"--dust jacket.
