Sex has been designed by God for His miraculous work of creating new human beings, each with an immortal soul. The physiology of sex in every detail works to engender new life. The emotions of sex exist to bring a man and woman together to constitute a family. Yes, sexuality is distorted by the Fall, so that lust and fornication can work against God’s purposes and be tainted by sin, but God’s created order remains.

Gene Edward Veith (* 1951) ist ein US-amerikanischer Literaturwissenschaftler, Kulturkritiker und Autor, der unter anderem an der Concordia University Wisconsin sowie am Patrick Henry College lehrte. Er steht für eine konfessionell-lutherische Auseinandersetzung mit Kultur und Gesellschaft sowie für die Wiederentdeckung der reformatorischen Lehre von der christlichen Berufung im Alltag. Bibellesern verdeutlicht sein Werk, wie sich theologische Konzepte wie die Kreuzestheologie praktisch auf Arbeit, Bildung und das Leben in einer säkularen Welt anwenden lassen.
