Many of you expressed interest in the comments here on of Sex and Love or my Twitter when I posted my review for God and Sex, a book that analyzes just what the Bible has to say about sex.
If you forgot about this already (you didn’t, did you?!), the publisher has this to describe God and Sex:
A highly engaging examination of sex and the Bible, by one of the leading biblical scholars in the United States.
For many years, Michael Coogan’s introductory course on the Old Testament has been a perennial favorite among students at Harvard University. In God and Sex, Coogan examines one of the most controversial aspects of the Bible: What it really says about sex, and how contemporary understanding of biblical writings is frequently misunderstood or misrepresented. In the engaging and witty voice generations of students have appreciated, Coogan explores the language and social world of the Bible, showing how much innuendo and euphemism is at play, and how sexuality figures in the lives of biblical figures, as well as God. By doing so, Coogan reveals the immense gap between popular use of Scripture and its original context. God and Sex is certain to provoke, entertain, and enlighten readers.

Seriously, even though I don’t really identify as a Christian any longer, I like to read up on how different people interpret the Bible in regards to sex. It’s kind of healing to know that I never had to be ashamed of enjoying sex after years of abstinence and scare tactics.
I wanted to read this book since I read your review of it, huge thanks for letting me enter 🙂

I got a little over excited
I’d love to read the book. I was raised as a Christian, and now that I do sex toy reviewing, I’m more involved with sex. I’d really, really love to read what this author says about it. Especially since it seems easier to read this book than the entire Bible. 😛

So annoyed with myself – I thought I’d already entered.
I want this book because I grew up in a southern baptist church & still live amongst the sheeple. I’d love to be able to say “No, actually the Bible says…”
