Book Review:
In this timely and authoritative survey, renowned church historian Dr. Roland H. Bainton addresses the perennial difficulty of reconciling Christian faith with the realities of sex, love, and marriage. The book traces the evolving answers provided by Christianity, from its Jewish heritage through key figures like St. Augustine, offering crucial historical context for modern believers.

Written with the same scholarly insight that made his biography of Martin Luther, ''Here I Stand,'' a classic, Bainton provides an informed perspective on a subject of urgent importance. At a time of widespread marital breakdown and cultural obsession with sex, this book offers a thoughtful, historical framework to help Christians develop a faithful and mature attitude toward these intimate aspects of life. An essential and enlightening read for anyone seeking a deeper, historically-grounded understanding of Christian relationships.
