- Summary:
- "In recent years far-ranging debate in the ecclesiastical sphere and to a lesser extent the secular world has interconnected Christianity - as the largest sodesignated 'world religion' - with issues of sexuality and human reproduction. And this has proved to be on a global scale or at least where Christianity has long enjoyed a cultural predominance and to such an extent that it might be argued the topics have become the major, if not the principal concern of the faith's current internal moral deliberations. The apparent preoccupation has been evident with reference to Christian responses to matters around abortion and contraception, sexual promiscuity and sex education"-- Provided by publisher.
