In A Lily Among the Thorns, De La Torre examines theBible, current events, history and our culture-at-large to show howand why racism, sexism, and classism have distortedChristianity's central teachings about sexuality. The authorshows how the church's traditionally negative attitudestoward sex in general--and toward women, people of color, andgays in particular--have made it difficult, if not impossible, to create a biblically based and just sexual ethic. But when theBible is read from the viewpoint of those who have beenmarginalized in our society, preconceived notions aboutChristianity and sex get turned on their heads. Taking onhot-button topics such as pornography, homosexuality, prostitution, and celibacy, the author examines how "reading from themargins" provides a liberating approach to dealing withissues of sexuality.
