Reenvisioning Sexual Ethics

"Peterson-Iyer brings fresh eyes to the complex justice issues that sexual practices like sexting and sex work — and efforts to discourage them — raise for women's flourishing and moral agency. With characteristic conviction and care, she grapples with sexuality as it is, not as it ideally would be." — Cristina L. H. Traina, Avery Cardinal Dulles, SJ, Chair in Catholic Theology, Fordham University

"Reenvisioning Sexual Ethics: A Feminist Christian Account is an important book on urgent matters. Dr. Peterson-Iyer describes sexual flourishing as a new framework for evaluating practical, everyday moral questions about sexuality. Relational justice is at the center of this exciting construction of sexual ethics. A significant contribution to the field." — Emily Reimer-Barry, associate professor of Christian ethics, University of San Diego

"Rooted in a robust anthropology and keenly attentive to social context and structural sin, Peterson-Iyer's justice-focused approach to Christian sexual ethics is nuanced and compelling. It acknowledges complexities, dares to keep the well-being of women and sexual minorities at the center, and calls us ever toward virtue as embodied, socially embedded persons. The work — especially the case studies — will spark lively, necessary conversation in college classrooms, across dinner tables, and within church communities." — Bridget Burke Ravizza, professor of theology and religious studies, St. Norbert College

"Reenvisioning Sexual Ethics is well researched, with detailed footnotes and an extensive bibliography and index. This insightful and nuanced analysis will interest a wide audience ranging from college students to church members and beyond." — Catholic News Service
