Author Emmanuel Saidi explores modern attitudes toward sex and the factors that have contributed to their development. Drawing extensively on Judeo-Christian traditions, he teaches that sexuality is an integral part of physical, spiritual, intellectual, and emotional health and is often evident in how people relate to one another. Saidi shares his thoughts on what healthy sexual ethics should encompass and also delves into such topics as the following:

• The influence that traditional Christian teaching has on society's perception of sex and human sexuality
• How the experiences and traditions of the past forge an intricate connection between body and spirit
• The importance of incorporating virtues into sexual teaching
• The case method of resolving moral conflicts, using the HIV/AIDS epidemic as an example
