These are often given from moral-ethical perspectives, and seemingly very prescriptive: who should have sex with whom, when sex should take place, which purposes sex should serve--and especially, when sex is wrong. Moreover, often there is little or no recognition of the complexities surrounding human sexuality, resulting in what appears to be a blueprint for sexuality, applicable to all persons. This volume contains fourteen theological and ethical reflections by South African scholars on human sexuality, with the aim of exploring what a sexual reformation within Christian dialogue might entail. Presented in three sections--namely, systematic theological reflections, biblical reflections, and ethical reflections--the essays represent a range of topics from a variety of perspectives: Luther and marriage; sexual abuse in the Catholic Church; body theology and the sexual revolution; reproductive technologies, sexuality and reproduction; reproductive loss; hermeneutical choices and gender reformation in (South) Africa; queer engagements with \"bra\" Joseph; explorations on Paul and sex; rape culture and violent deities; the church's moral authority and sexual ethics; practical-theological considerations regarding infertility; empirical research on masculinities in Zambia; and the lived experience of transgender people in African Independent Churches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eManitza Kotzé is Associate Professor in Dogmatology, Unit for Reformed Theology and the Development of the South African Society at the Faculty of Theology, North-West University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nadia Marais is Senior Lecturer in Systematic Theology, Department of Systematic Theology and Ecclesiology at the Faculty of Theology, Stellenbosch University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nina Müller van Velden is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow.
