James B. Nelson has given us another first-class study in theological ethics. His comprehensive and imaginative treatment sets both traditional and unconventional sexuality issues within the context of God's fulfilling grace. Nelson's masterful handling of empirical data, ethical method, and theological perspective makes this book indispensable for pastors, counselors, and all who wish to think constructively about human sexuality.
