In one of the very few books to tackle sex head on from a Christian standpoint, Moore shows great understanding about the mechanics of sex, the business of human relationships, and the psychodynamics of marriage. The writing is down to earth and practical, and covers all aspects of human sexuality, including homosexuality. Moore tackles the theologians on their own ground; he wants to engage the church in debate, and is comfortable discussing the Natural Law on Thomist principles.

Review:

"Moore's book is of interest to anyone seeking to understand the teachings and policies of the Catholic Church on such controversial issues as contraception and homosexuality. Readers cannot help but agree with Moore's parting statement: 'the church needs to do more thinking about sex." Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and researchers; professionals and practitioners."
