Because we are sinful beings, our view of sex can be distorted, especially when our sinful hearts desire sex for selfish reasons.

Light is shed on the different perspectives culture has had on sex throughout history, ranging from a natural appetite to an evil deed necessary to continue the human race. It is a beautiful depiction of independence of other relationships such as parents and an interdependency on another, a spouse. Keller opens with this verse for this chapter on sex because it is the foundation of how God designed the sexual relationship to be – between a husband and his wife, where the intimate act of sex unites them as one flesh. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” – Ephesians 5:31 I highly recommend that this book be on everyone’s bookshelf!Īlso, if you want to catch a glimpse of some of the chewy morsels from this book, please check out the other chapter reviews!
