About: An examination of how the teachings of Jesus reveal the essential role of sexuality in spiritual growth and transformation• Shows that Jesus did not come to redeem humanity from the life of the flesh, but to honor it as a spiritual path• Uses Hebrew, gnostic, and early Christian source texts to reveal the true context of the words attributed to Jesus• Explores the spiritual and physical relationship shared by Jesus and Mary MagdaleneOf all the major religions, Christianity is the only one that has utterly rejected sexuality as one of the many paths that can lead to enlightenment and salvation.
