catalog abstract "Jewish sexual ethics for today ... We live in an age of sexual confusion. The traditional guidelines, evolved in simpler times, no longer answer all our modern questions. Does Judaism offer appropriate guidelines to the intimacy of the bedroom? Can we bridge the gap between tradition and the dilemmas of our time? In Does God Belong in the Bedroom? Rabbi Michael Gold turns to the Torah, the wisdom of the rabbis of the Talmud, the Midrash, and other classic Jewish sources. He traces traditional Jewish responses through the ages and applies their lessons to the post-pill, AIDS-conscious world Jews live in today. Rabbi Gold explores the vast reservoir of rabbinic sources on sexuality, ranging from extreme asceticism to a frank celebration of love and sexuality. He demonstrates how those classical sources differ from Christian and modern secular ethics, examining such issues as marital, nonmarital, and extramarital sex; pornography; rape and. Incest; masturbation; homosexuality; birth control; abortion; new reproductive techniques; and sex education. More than a study of texts, Does God Belong in the Bedroom? is a frank and honest approach to sexual ethics. "I have tried to emphasize sources," says Rabbi Gold, "that see our sexual drive as God's gift, to be used to achieve both happiness and holiness." God does, indeed, belong in the bedroom.".
