This 2001 revised edition of the landmark 1988 text includes updated text and notes throughout, taking advantage of recent studies of sexual ethics and, where appropriate, criticising them. A new chapter engages the presumed ‘ethic of creation’ that has become a major theme among more conservative thinkers and writers in biblical ethics. A concluding chapter on sex is thoroughly rewritten and offers a positive statement of a New Testament sexual ethic.
[I have seen a later revision referred to, dated 2007, but have not been able to find the details; it may simply be a reprint. — Phil Gardner]
Reviews/Comments
“Dirt, Sex and Greed [sic] is a unique and important explanation of sexual ethics in the New Testament of the Bible and their implications for today. It is a bit of a dense, thorough read, but the content is paradigm-shattering in the very best way!” — Kristen SW Washington
