A personal look at Christians' relationship with sex

Nadia Bolz-Weber examines the forces that distort sex and gender

Offering hope and liberation, Shameless is a powerful and personal book

In "Shameless," Nadia Bolz-Weber invites you to rethink harmful ideas about sex and gender, sharing her personal journey and offering hope for healing and liberation.

Raw, intimate, and timely, Nadia Bolz-Weber's latest book offers a full-blown overhaul of our harmful and antiquated ideas about sex, gender, and our bodies.

Christians are obsessed with sex. But not in a good way. For nearly two thousand years, this obsession has often turned destructive, inflicting pain, suffering, and guilt on countless people of all persuasions and backgrounds.

In Shameless, Bolz-Weber calls for a reformation. To make her case, she offers experiences from her own life and stories from her parishoners alongside biblical theology to explore what the church has taught, and the harm those teachings have caused.

Along the way, she re-examines patriarchy, sex, and power with candour but also with hope, because in her heart she believes the "Gospel is powerful enough, transgressive enough, and beautiful enough to heal not only the ones who have been hurt but also those who have done the hurting."

This is by far Bolz-Weber's most personal book yet, revealing intimate and emotional details about her life while offering a reading experience that is as entertaining and affirming as it is intellectually robust and liberating.

For anyone who has been harmed by the shaming sexual messages so prevalent in religion, this book is for you.
