Sexual Ethics

This audiobook explores the Catholic tradition’s principles on sexual ethics, emphasizing that sexual acts should be open to life and take place within marriage. Scholars Todd Salzman and Michael Lawler examine how recent theological developments, particularly since the Second Vatican Council, challenge traditional norms and open space for new understandings of issues like contraception, artificial reproduction, and same-sex marriage. Rooted in a view that emphasizes love, desire, and fertility, the authors advocate for a perspective that enhances human sexual relationships and flourishing within a Catholic framework.
