God, Sexuality and the Self is a new venture in systematic theology.
Sarah Coakley invites the reader to re-conceive the relation of sexual
desire and the desire for God and - through the lens of prayer
practice - to chart the intrinsic connection of this relation to a
theology of the Trinity. The goal is to integrate the demanding
ascetical undertaking of prayer with the recovery of lost and
neglected materials from the tradition and thus to reanimate doctrinal
reflection both imaginatively and spiritually. What emerges is a
vision of human longing for the triune God which is both edgy and
compelling: Coakley's théologie totale questions standard shibboleths
on 'sexuality' and 'gender' and thereby suggests a way beyond current
destructive impasses in the churches. The book is clearly and
accessibly written and will be of great interest to all scholars and
students of theology.
