Eroticism and ethics – an underlying issue of mankind that never ceased to be relevant. In current debates it becomes clear that positions hostile to sexuality are often ascribed to the Bible–but is this indeed the case? The necessity of a well-founded debate is given and is delivered in this commemorative publication. Is sexuality a human right? What utopias are associated with it? Is patriarchate a punishment? Does Paul’s spirituality have homoerotic aspects? Does the Bible share the idea of the maidenhead? What is the biblical relationship to prostitution? This volume collects a number of different highlights from well-known exegetes who together shed light on this exciting field.
