'Why Original Blessing is Key to Authentic Sexual Relationships' - Jason John - now via Zoom
Event description
Original blessing began before humans. We now know that it began billions of years before humans, before mammals, even before sex. What does it mean for authentic sexual relationships that sex and relationships have constantly evolved in response to changing environments, even through the Old and New Testaments? What does it mean to take blessing rather than fall as a starting point when talking about sex? Twenty-first century Christians, indeed all people, are presented with four paths for authentic faith-full sexual relationships, of which life-long monogamous marriage is one.
Jason John is a Uniting Church minister with a decades long fascination for the implications of the new evolutionary creation stories for Christianity. His new book, Christian Sex Today: Lessons from Moses, Jesus, Paul and Darwin explores these implications specifically for our understanding of faithful sexuality (Coventry Press, 2021).
