""Using the ancient text of Genesis, the authors engage in a dialogue with some of the contemporary challenges of sexual expressions exacerbated by hyper-individualism. Selected biblical narratives guide the reader into thoughtful reflections, challenging the behavioral relativism often directed to sex and sexuality. I commend this book to those seeking a counter-narrative based on a freshly interpreted biblical perspective."" --Greg DeLoach, McAfee School of Theology of Mercer University ""With tender loving care, the authors of Sex in the Garden display an explicit adult-level reading of the book of Genesis to analyze a range of sexual behaviors not normally covered in polite discussions of sacred Scripture--either with adults or children. I recommend the book for all those interested in what the Bible has to say about sex."" --Jan Love, Candler School of Theology, Emory University ""Behold! In your hands is an inspired and inspiring twenty-first-century iteration of the prophetic mission to be a 'light unto the nations.' Rabbis Broyde and Travis challenge the situational ethics of our time through the lens of classical Judaism by arguing persuasively that Genesis presents a template for individuals to use when making real life decisions."" --Richard Wagner, Loyola University of Maryland.
