show more “性”愿屬天父,人性裡面不可分割的重要部分。現代社會每多對性扭曲的觀念,有視為禁忌,亦有不少沉溺情慾旋渦而不能自拔。

本書乃韋約翰醫生多年努力的成果,結合了神學探討,心理學及社會學之分析,對性的課題,作一個較整全有系統的剖析。其中追溯性問題的根源,解讀難解難分的兩性關係,為讀者提供方向。

此書非一堆抽離理念,作者更坦誠分享個人在性事上的掙扎,透傳一份擲地有聲的情理。

目錄:


卷一:奴役捆鎖中的性愛
卷二:男、女、性
卷三:性罪的救贖
附錄一:一些能提供幫助的機構
附錄二:助你起步的書籍

The temptation is to refer to the whole Archives of Anthropos series as being Narnia clones. After all, it's all territory which has been traveled before, isn't it? Children go to another world, have adventures, and meet the local incarnation of God. But Anthropos does have a flavor of its own, and bits of this book in particular speak to me. I've been in "guilt cages" often in my life. I've been tempted to look into the forbidden tower, even if I haven't climbed it. And like John, I know show more how it is to have trouble believing that God has the strength to follow up on His promises even when the evidence is in front of my eyes. show less
“性”在中國文化中,一直被看成是一件難以啟齒、不可告人的事情。而在某些基督徒的傳統教導中,“性”又被認為是一種禁忌。尤其對“性犯罪”這件事,一般教會與信徒更是避之惟恐不及。究竟:

神創造“性”的目的何在?
“性犯罪”是眾罪之首嗎?

作者韋約翰,精神科醫生,以厚實的聖經基礎、悲天憫人的胸懷,對各種性困擾和性犯罪,提出了睿智、廣博的見解。
I didn't expect to like this book as much as I did. The action is nonstop, the characters are interesting and varied, and I always wanted to read just a little more. On the downside, the Christian allegory is impossible to ignore, so it was hard for me to just enjoy it as a story without constantly pausing to make another connection.
Lisa, Kurt, and Wesley are whisked away to the land of Anthropos through a set of TVs. Here they must help the imprisoned King Kardia regain his throne through a show more series of quests. show less
