Passionate Embrace

More about the book

Elisabeth Gerle engages in a thought-provoking dialogue with Martin Luther and contemporary theologians, challenging traditional Protestant ethics that often overlook sensuality and desire. By exploring Eros theology, she seeks to bridge the gap between various forms of love and reconcile the spirit-body dichotomy. Her work addresses the complexities of desire, ethics, and politics in a society that simultaneously worships and loathes the body, offering fresh perspectives on the role of pleasure in ethical discourse.
