Sarah Coakley Book order

Exploring the intrinsic relationship between God and sexuality, this innovative work in systematic theology offers fresh insights and perspectives. It delves into the complexities of how divine concepts intersect with human sexuality, challenging traditional views and inviting readers to reconsider their understanding of both theology and sexual identity. Through thoughtful analysis, it aims to bridge the gap between faith and personal experience, making it a significant contribution to contemporary theological discourse.

Each chapter of The New Asceticism concentrates on a contentious issue in contemporary theology - the role of women in the churches, homosexuality and the priesthood, celibacy and the future of Christian asceticism - in an original thesis about the nature of desire which may start to heal many contemporary wounds. Professor Coakley is as familiar with the Bible and the Early Fathers as she is with the writings of Freud and Jung, and she draws heavily on Gregory of Nyssa's theology of desire in what she proposes. She points the way through the false modern alternatives of repression and libertinism, agape and eros, recovering a way in which desire can be freed from associations with promiscuity and disorder, and forging a new ascetical vision founded in the disciplines of prayer and attention.

This work explores the deep connection between God and sexuality, offering a fresh perspective in systematic theology. It delves into how these two concepts interact and influence one another, providing insights that challenge traditional views. The book aims to enrich the understanding of both divine and human experiences by examining the theological implications of sexuality.

Sind aber göttliche und menschliche Macht dasselbe? Wie kann eine feministische Spiritualität aussehen, die die Rede von der Hingabe an Gott nicht missbraucht, um zwischenmenschliche Unterdrückung zu rechtfertigen?
