Book Launch Presentation 4:00pm The historical evolution and contemporary manifestation of sexual theology within the Roman Catholic tradition is deficient of explicit consideration of the developmental aspects of human sexuality. In this book, Dr. Kieser addresses that deficiency by exploring contemporary sexual theology from within a feminist natural law perspective and constructing a sexual theology accounting for adolescent females. In so doing, she also conducts a secondary analysis of relevant existing empirical data pertaining to adolescent female sexuality as a means of better understanding their sexual development, experiences, and interpretations. Finally, she undertakes a synthesis of the discrete discourses of theology and developmental psychology in the construction of an adequate theological sexual ethic. The locus of this synthesis is the concept of human flourishing, sexual flourishing in particular, of persons in relationship with others and with the Divine. She concludes with a discussion of some questions for further study. |
