Christianity is the only major religion that rejects sexuality as one of the many paths to enlightenment and salvation. But if Jesus was indeed "the" Word made "flesh," is it reasonable that physical love would have been prohibited to him? Using "Hebrew," "gnostic," and early Christian source texts to reveal the TRUE context of the words attributed to "Jesus," LeLoup shows that Jesus did not come to redeem humanity from the life of the "flesh," but to honor it as a spiritual path.
