{"product_id":"9780802878465","title":"Sex, Tech, and Faith","description":"\u003cp\u003eA values-based, shame-free, pleasure-positive discussion of  Christian ethics in response to a range of pressing issues in the  digital age-including online pornography, dating apps, sexting,  virtual-reality hookups, and sex robots.  Digital innovation  has rapidly changed the landscape of sexual experience in the  twenty-first century. Rules-based sexual ethics, subscribed to by many  Christians, are unable to keep up with new developments and, more often  than not, seem effective at little other than generating shame.  Progressive  ethicist Kate Ott steps into this void with an expansive yet nuanced  approach that priorities honesty and discernment over fear and  judgement. Rather than producing a list of don'ts, Ott considers the  possibilities alongside the potential harm in everything from the use of  internet porn to the practice of online dating to human-robot intimacy.  With the aid of thought-provoking anecdotes and illuminating research,  Ott invites readers to wrestle with the question of how to practice a  just and flourishing sexuality in the digital age-and does so by drawing  on core values of the Christian tradition.  A rich resource for both individuals and groups, Sex, Tech, and Faith includes  discussion questions at the end of each chapter for those considering  these issues in community, as well as extensive youth study guides for  parents, pastors, and teachers in need of age-appropriate means of  beginning these difficult conversations with teens. Readers of all  backgrounds and identities will be challenged to consider how their  choices and habits in the digital world can lead to sexual health,  wholeness, dignity, and fulfillment-for themselves and those in  relationship with them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EERDMANS ACADEMIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52043910840594,"sku":"9780802878465","price":37.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9780802878465.jpg?v=1774736047","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9780802878465","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
