In 1996, at the beginning of her seminary studies, Rev. Dr. Debra W. Haffner published a widely disseminated article titled “The Good News: What the Bible Can Teach You About Sex.” Thirty years later, she returned to the Bible and rediscovered far more complex messages about s*xuality in both the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Scriptures. The texts had not changed—but over those thirty years, she had, as had scientific and cultural understandings about s*xuality. In two lectures, Haffner will survey the Hebrew Bible and Christian Scriptures for their surprising and varied messages about s*xuality - sometimes troubling, often life-affirming, and always rich.
