Download or read book Naked Chastity written by Dora Muhammad and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-01-27 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dora Muhammad shares an intimate collection of poetry drawn from her life of chastity for over 24 years. From her vow taken as a teenager to her sustained commitment through the end of her thirties, she offers a lyrical narrative that virtue demands more than just not having casual and uncommitted sex. Chastity will move us beyond celibacy and abstinence and cover every fiber of our being in a remarkable and irrevocable way. Speaking to those single and married, she presents a paradigm where sex is sacred, and the consecration of sexual communion within marriage aligns our individual purity with our mutual pleasure, and produces a healing covering for and from our holy matrimony. Inspired by the description of Jesus' healing power as virtue going out from him in the Biblical account of the woman with the issue of blood touching the hem of his garment, she speaks of the spiritual and creative gifts that virtue has imbued into her being. She writes to affirm that we must protect the virtue of our children to allow them to grow into their fullest potential and power; that we can reclaim our own virtue regardless of our past experiences or current circumstances; that virtue is present in the world today to overcome it and transform us through healing in the process of being made whole. This is not a manual, guide or textbook. It seeks to edify others along their personal work of virtue, to nourish seeds of chastity; and through its blossoms, inspire others to refuse to dwell in the land of lack and longing but seek to thrive in an oasis of an abundant outpouring of God's love and healing, where virtue is affirmed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Chastity Plot, Lisabeth During tells the story of the rise, fall, and transformation of the ideal of chastity. From its role in the practice of asceticism to its associations with sovereignty, violence, and the purity of nature, it has been loved, honored, and despised. Obsession with chastity has played a powerful and disturbing role in our moral imagination. It has enforced patriarchy’s double standards, complicated sexual relations, and imbedded in Western culture a myth of gender that has been long contested by feminists. Still not yet fully understood, the chastity plot remains with us, and the metaphysics of purity continue to haunt literature, religion, and philosophy. Idealized and unattainable, sexual renunciation has shaped social institutions, political power, ethical norms, and clerical abuses. It has led to destruction and passion, to seductive fantasies that inspired saints and provoked libertines. As During shows, it should not be underestimated. Examining literature, religion, psychoanalysis, and cultural history from antiquity through the middle ages and into modernity, During provides a sweeping history of chastity and insight into its subversive potential. Instead of simply asking what chastity is, During considers what chastity can do, why we should care, and how it might provide a productive disruption, generating new ways of thinking about sex, integrity, and freedom.

Book excerpt: "If you would be happy, be chaste."This latest title in the Living Fruitfully series addresses the provocative and often misunderstood subject of chastity. Too often considered an exclusively 'religious' option, the author makes the case for chastity, showing us that as a Christian virtue, we are all called to lead a chaste life in keeping with our particular state of life: whether married or single, ordained or lay, young or old.The work draws heavily on the teaching and example of the saints, beginning with a retelling of the story of St Augustine and weaving gems from St Thomas Aquinas, St Philip Neri and many others. There is a specific chapter on tools and spiritual weapons for the fight against temptation, and a short selection of prayers to help readers striving for chastity.

Download or read book Sexual Ethics in a Secular Age written by Eric J. Silverman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection features essays from top experts in ethics and philosophy of love that offer varying perspectives on the value of a contemporary secular virtue of chastity. The virtue of chastity has traditionally been portrayed as an excellent personal disposition concerning the ideal ordering of sexual desire such that the person desires that which is actually good for both the self and others affected by his or her sexual desires and actions. Yet, for roughly the past half century chastity has been increasingly portrayed as an unnecessary ideal with few secular benefits that could not be otherwise obtained. Instead, chastity is sometimes portrayed as an odd kind of religious asceticism with few secular benefits. The essays in this volume ask whether there may be advantages to reconsidering a contemporary virtue of chastity. A recovered and reconceptualized concept of chastity can offer partial solutions to problems associated with externalized sexual desire, including sweeping patterns of sexual harassment, the high divorce/relationship-failure rate, and widespread pornography use. Sexual Ethics in a Secular Age will appeal to researchers and advanced students interested in the philosophy of sex and love, virtue ethics, and philosophical accounts of secularity.

Download or read book Seeing with the Eyes of the Heart written by Elizabeth T. Groppe and published by Catholic University of America Press. This book was released on 2020-07-03 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era in which the internet has made pornography readily accessible, Seeing with the Eyes of the Heart offers a theological critique of pornography and retrieves from the Christian tradition an alternative visual culture. This visual culture is constituted by both the character of the images we behold and the manner in which we see. Contributors include psychologists William M. Struthers and Jill Manning, who address the neurological effects of pornography and its influences on personal, familial, and social life. Their professional analysis is complemented by the testimony of a young man in recovery from pornography addiction. In an exposition of Christian visual culture, Orthodox iconographer Randi Sider-Rose describes the spiritual discipline of icon writing, Danielle M. Peters, S.T.D., surveys the iconography and art of Marian traditions, and art historian Dianne Phillips elucidates the meaning of divine desire as evident in Catholic visual culture of the late medieval and early modern periods. Catholic theologians Ann W. Astell, Nathanial Peters, Boyd Taylor Coolman, and Nicolas Ogle discuss specific practices and dimensions of the Catholic tradition that can contribute to the cultivation of sacramental vision, and David W. Fagerberg, Kimberly Hope Belcher, Jennifer Newsome Martin, and John C. Cavadini offer reflections on sacramental imagination and the healing of vision. Seeing with the Eyes of the Heart is a work of scholarship composed with pastoral care and concern, and it will be serviceable to both classroom teachers and pastoral ministers. A special feature of the book is an inset of seventy-two full-color plates featuring both classic and contemporary works of Christian iconography and art. The essays and images invite readers to behold in beauty the truth that we are created by the triune God not for sexual objectification but with a sacramental vocation to deification through Christ and the Holy Spirit of love.
