Who Told You That You Were Naked? | Meditations on the Sexual Body (Dale)

Uprooting Shame "Nobody told me that sex is fun.Sex is fun!Sex is fun!They only told me that sex is sin.Sex is sin!Sex is sin!" And so begins Who Told You That You Were Naked? with a swift interrogation of the Christian shame that is too often imposed upon the Christian body. "It is imperative ... that we jettison body shaming, our suspicion of pleasure, the moralistic and judgmental repression of both our own sexuality and that of others, as well as the many forms of harmful sex-negativity currently contaminating some areas of Christian thought," writes educator and author Beverly Dale in the book's introduction. A Theology for the Body Both self-help guide and spiritual inspiration, Who Told You That You Were Naked? is packed with meditations that are biblically grounded and tangibly liberating. Each meditation includes a prayer and prompts for reflection, with themes focusing on purity culture, sacred-sexual bodies, and ethics without repression. Who Told You That You Were Naked? ta
