How Should Christians Think about Sex? (Questions for Restless Minds)
How Should Christians Think about Sex?
Why God cares about your sex life.
Everyone is talking about sex. Be true to yourself—love whomever and however you want. The world claims to be affirming and inclusive. But Jesus says to deny yourself. Is Christianity repressive?
In How Should Christians Think about Sex?, Christopher Ash turns to the Bible to find the wisdom and beauty in God’s good design. What is marriage? What is sexuality for? Only God’s word makes sense of it all. Jesus’ way is better, more liberating, and more affirming. Experience the freedom that comes through living not for your own gratification, but for God’s glory.

Praise for the Questions for Restless Minds series
“This generation of Christians inhabit cultures that sometimes reject not only biblical revelation about reality but also the reality of reality itself. The Questions for Restless Minds series poses many of the toughest questions faced by young Christians to some of the world’s foremost Christian thinkers and leaders. Along the way, this series seeks to help the Christian next generation to learn how to think biblically when they face questions in years to come that perhaps no one yet sees coming.”
—Russell Moore, public theologian, Christianity Today
If you’re hungry to go deeper in your faith, wrestle with hard questions, and are dissatisfied with the shallow content on your social media newsfeed, you’ll really appreciate this series of thoughtful deep dives on critically important topics like faith, the Bible, friendship, sexuality, philosophy, and more. As you engage with some world-class Christian scholars, you’ll be encouraged, equipped, challenged, and above all invited to love God more with your heart, soul, mind, and strength.

I’ve enjoyed other works (on Marriage) from this author, so was intrigued what would be covered in this small book that is basically aimed at the Christian who is a University / College student. Whilst I wasn’t surprised that I agree with most of what the author presents, I did find that chapters 3 (Sex in the Service of God) and 4 (Sex as a Substitute for God) to be most thought provoking. This is a good book for older teenagers and young adults to read, so that they are at least hearing more than just the secular world’s views when it comes to Sex, Sexuality and Marriage. Not a bad book for us old married folk either! Plus some nice Study Questions and a good For Further Reading (I often complain that smaller books lack this, so I must applaud when it is present).
