Product Information

This book describes the psychospiritual facts of life about the pervasiveness of sexuality in all aspects of human life. The energy developed by our libido is the dynamic source of all the forces that shape our experience, life, motives, thought, feelings, desires, and spiritual longings. No facet of life is untouched or unshaped by this dynamo. Whether we are sitting in church at worship, in a meeting for business, in a party for pleasure, we are always aware of the gender of those who are around us and of their level of sensuality, as it impacts us. If we are not aware of that, some wounding has produced an impairment in us that has forced us to repress the awareness inappropriately. This work is not a how to manual so much as a description of the deep meaningfulness that can be found in the spirituality of sex. It is designed to enlighten us about ourselves, to give names to what we all feel all the time and do not know quite how to describe. It is about savoring the spiritual flavor of sexual play and sexual union. This is a book for everyone, from the inquiring adolescent to the mature adult looking for what is missing in sex and relationships. This is not a book mainly for Christians or Jews. It is about the generic human spirituality in every one of us, true believer and atheist alike. It is about being human more fully and with greater satisfaction. Human spirituality is best defined as our irrepressible hunger and quest for meaning in all aspects of life. Human sexuality is best defined as our irrepressible hunger and quest for union with other persons and the meaning of life found in the wholeness that such union brings. Sexuality and spirituality are not two different things. They are two names for the same thing: the irrepressible human quest for meaning, fulfillment, union, and wholeness. They are not two different forces, nor are they in any way at odds with one another, as they have been made to seem in the polarizing attitudes about sexuality and spirituality popular in human society, thanks to the excessive and negative moralization of sex. Here, Ellens sheds new light on the interplay of sexuality and spirituality through the use of anecdotes, observation, and thoughtful analysis.

Reviews
"Drawing on his long experience as a psychotherapist, theologian, and pastor, J. Harold Ellens makes a compelling and persuasive case that sex and spirituality belong together-in fact, that sex is good and life-giving only when it is deepened by spirituality."- Douglas J. Brouwer, Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Ann Arbor, Michigan, "Drawing on his long experience as a psychotherapist, theologian, and pastor, J. Harold Ellens makes a compelling and persuasive case that sex and spirituality belong together-in fact, that sex is good and life-giving only when it is deepened by spirituality." Douglas J. Brouwer, Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Ann Arbor, Michigan, "Never one to shy away from controversy, Ellens stomps where others tread lightly. Thoughtful and provocative, Ellens uncovers the deep structure of our sexual nature, showing its broad significant impact on our entire being yet without discounting its afternoon delights. You may not always agree with him, but I'll guarantee that this book will make you think even more about sex -- perhaps in ways you've never thought possible." Peter C. Hill Professor of Psychology Rosemead School of Psychology, Biola University, "What is life all about? In simple terms, it's a search for meaning. The author, a retired pastor and university professor, contends that our search for meaning happens in both the spiritual and the sexual realms of our living. In fact, he contends the two are intertwined in countless ways. The book is an exploration of that connectedness, and it includes some quite engaging stories of how people go about figuring all that out." - Faith Matters weblog, "J. Harold Ellens has written a book for the 21st century. His theme that with both spirituality and sexuality, we seek closeness, unity, and attachment will resonate. His anecdotes and stories flesh out his theme and give it spirit. You cannot read this book without chuckling, feeling nostalgic, pondering thoughtfully, and feeling elevated. It will help you feel closer to God and to those whom you love." Everett L. Worthington, Jr., Author of Forgiving and Reconciling: Bridges to Wholeness and Hope, "The author explores together the two most intractable and impenetrable problems in the modern experience, sexuality and spirituality, and the connections between them. The author elevates sex out of the arena of mud and shame and pulls spirituality down from the mist and clouds. This work will set the terms of the debate on these subjects for the decades ahead."- The Rev. Dr. Raymond J. Lawrence Jr., Retired Director of Pastoral Care, New York Presbyterian Hospital, "Never one to shy away from controversy, Ellens stomps where others tread lightly.

The Spirituality of Sex is part of a larger series on psychology, religion, and spirituality published by Praeger, and it is intended to address the needs of a general audience. It is not a book claiming to offer groundbreaking insights into psychology or theology. Rather, it aims to facilitate the dialogue between these disciplines for those who are neither psychologists nor theologians. This text serves this purpose. It is a thoughtful reflection on the importance of sexuality and spirituality in our lives, recognizing that our needs and desires for sex need not be antagonistic to our yearning for relationship with the transcendent. The Spirituality of Sex helps us to understand why interest in both spirituality and sex seems to be growing in contemporary life, and why it is unwise to pursue one without the other." - PsycCRITIQUES, "Recommended.
