Title: Not a scholarly study
Product review: While Ellens does a good job of breaking down strict stereotypes surrounding sexuality, I've found that he unfortunately tends to make a lot of claims or assumptions that are either not backed up by Scripture or appear to be his own personal moral view. Either way, it is misleading for the reader. He claims that while sex within marriage is obviously ok, so is "sexual communion between unmarried consenting adults within a meaningful friendship, and premarital sexuality between persons exploring the possibility of or engaged in a potential marriage contract." (p.35) While there may be no direct biblical injunction against such sexual contact, Ellens never reveals to his readers by what evidence he has reached such conclusions.
