The image of our God who is love is<br /> borne by "man" as "male and female," with no hint of either sexʼs imaging<br /> the divine more fully than--or apart from--the other. Through this gift, we may<br /> love and be loved deeply, may enjoy a profound oneness in marriage, and, from<br /> loveʼs natural self-giving, may give life to children, the greatest ongoing fruit<br /> of such love.</p><p>Despite all its goodness, many on this planet experience sexuality in brokenness<br /> and pain. We know sin and evil spoil and steal from Godʼs good creation, but we<br /> do not despair. The Good News of Jesus Christ reckons seriously with every enemy<br /> of human fl ourishing. His victory has won healing the Holy Spirit applies to the<br /> broken, through loving ministry.</p><p>These truths of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration unify the essays in this<br /> book. Most began at the Scholarsʼ Consultation of the Empowered21 Asia Global<br /> Congress in Singapore in 2017. Here they explore Godʼs intention for our sexuality, <br /> ways we misuse and abuse this gift, and ways Spirit-empowered communities help<br /> heal brokenness and restore the divine image. Expressing theological and socialscience<br /> scholarship and front-lines ministry experience from the First and Majority<br /> Worlds, these essays probe gender theory, inequality, and fl uidity and dysphoria;<br /> sexual exploitation of children and women and their resilience; homosexuality;<br /> fi ghting HIV/AIDS; promoting sexual wholeness; and more. Readers will deepen<br /> their biblical, theoretical, and practical understanding so they may minister healing<br /> and restoration with wisdom and compassion in the power of the Holy Spirit.</p>
