Review:
"Christians since early in their history have gotten sex wrong. The result is our present culture where sexual oppression and abuse abound. Fortunately, ethicists like Marvin M. Ellison envision a liberative sexual ethics rooted in the very principles of faith by carefully listening to the voices of those relegated to the margins. His latest book, Making Love Just, is required reading for all who wish to move the present discourse on sexual justice forward." --Miguel A. De La Torre, Iliff School of Theology
"Marvin Ellison weaves many wise voices, including his own, into a lsquo;liberating method of ethical discernment.rsquo: This book starts new, necessary conversations. The welcome result is justice-love and a safer world. Read and heed!" --Mary E. Hunt, Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics and Ritual (WATER)
"Faith leaders across traditions are calling for a new sexual ethic focused on personal relationships and social justice rather than particular sexual acts. That yearning for a sex-positive and justice-oriented framework is expressed strongly in the Religious Institute's own Religious Declaration on Sexual Morality, Justice, and Healing. That's why I am so pleased with Marvin Ellison's latest book, which provides such a helpful guide for the theologian, seminarian, and person of faith who is seeking to understand and integrate a truly redemptive Christian ethic of sexuality." --Debra Haffner, Religious Institute
