Description: Eroticism and ethics - an underlying issue of mankind that never ceased to be relevant. In current debates it becomes clear that positions hostile to sexuality are often ascribed to the Bible--but is this indeed the case? The necessity of a well-founded debate is given and is delivered in this commemorative publication. Is sexuality a human right? What utopias are associated with it? Is patriarchate a punishment? Does Paul's spirituality have homoerotic aspects? Does the Bible share the idea of the maidenhead? What is the biblical relationship to prostitution? This volume collects a number of different highlights from well-known exegetes who together shed light on this exciting field.
