The Intimate Connection: Male Sexuality, Masculine SpiritualityWestminster John Knox Press, 1 Á.¤. 1988 - 140 ˹éÒ In recent decades, men have begun to question seriously their traditionally held roles and values. The women's movement, popular books, and male images on television and in films have all contributed to men's uncertainty about themselves. There is a major shift taking place in the perception of sexuality. James Nelson asserts that men and women seek something the sexual revolution did not provide: an understanding of the true meaning of love. This, he claims, is the unfinished business of that revolution. |
