      Sex remains a challenging issue for contemporary Christians, yet Eastern Orthodox Christians have recently embraced a more open dialogue on the subject. The Orthodox Church's theological trajectory and historical context differ significantly from other Christian denominations that have already explored sexuality and sexual diversity. Within its unique framework, Orthodox Christianity offers rich resources for addressing complex questions of sexuality. This volume seeks to create a space for discussing sex, particularly the sexualities often deemed untraditional in Orthodox contexts. Through fifteen chapters by leading scholars and theologians, the book provides a comprehensive examination of sexuality in the Orthodox Christian tradition, drawing on scriptural, patristic, theological, historical, and sociological perspectives. It includes practical and pastoral insights and reflections on specific cultural contexts, engaging with the realities of sexual diversity and Christian life. Topics range from reinterpreting scripture and developing theologies of sex to eschatological views of eros and reassessing Orthodox responses to science. This work fosters new thinking on urgent contemporary issues and initiates vital conversations about homosexuality and sexual diversity within Orthodox Christianity.
