Each year, SVS Press publishes and distributes quality, spiritually enriching Orthodox Christian material, and it is because of generous donors who give behind the scenes that each book gets printed.
A new book is ready to go to press, and we would like to offer you the remarkable opportunity to be a part of it.
Sex & Salvation, by Fr Philip LeMasters, is a groundbreaking examination of marriage as an exalted path to salvation in the Orthodox Church. Far from being denigrated in comparison to monasticism, marriage is the profound "one flesh" union of man and woman, affirmed and blessed by Christ as a sign of His kingdom.
Fr Philip writes that this understanding of marriage forms the basis for Orthodox Christian sexual ethics and provides the context in which most people will find the healing of their souls. It is also the only context in which a relationship of sexual intimacy is blessed by the Church as a path of salvation.
A gifted communicator and author, Fr Philip LeMasters serves the community of St Luke Orthodox Church in Abilene, Texas, and is a professor of Religion at McMurry University. His approach to this timely topic is not one of rigid moralism; rather, his book aims to help Orthodox Christians follow the path to holiness as embodied men and women embracing the mystery of sex and salvation.
