[This chapter analyzes and counters aspects of the Christian tradition that have tended to condemn sexual desire. Desire is part of God’s creation of humans. Hence, desire is good. Desire is not a yearning for something lacking but an impetus toward being in relation. The goal is to cultivate desire in relation with others. Sexual desire is part of this overarching desire, which should be nourished and celebrated. Beginning with a new definition of desire, this chapter articulates a positive conception of desire through the Bible, tradition, and theology.]
