American society in general and the Christian churches in particular are in a state of conflict over issues involving sex, gender, and sexuality. On matters such as oral sex within marriage and sexual intimacy within same-gender committed relationships, the natural law tradition has largely brought the church to a dead end. This project begins by surveying the main resources of scripture and tradition that have been brought to bear in Christian sexual ethics—the writings of Paul, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther and Calvin—and finds them limited in their capacity to provide the authoritative guidance needed by contemporary Christians. The social model of the Trinity provides the framework for the central contribution of this work: a Christian sexual ethics that is both true to the tradition and capable of addressing the full range of human sexuality and human relationships at issue today.

520 $a American society in general and the Christian churches in particular are in a state of conflict over issues involving sex, gender, and sexuality. On matters such as oral sex within marriage and sexual intimacy within same-gender committed relationships, the natural law tradition has largely brought the church to a dead end. This project begins by surveying the main resources of scripture and tradition that have been brought to bear in Christian sexual ethics—the writings of Paul, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther and Calvin—and finds them limited in their capacity to provide the authoritative guidance needed by contemporary Christians. The social model of the Trinity provides the framework for the central contribution of this work: a Christian sexual ethics that is both true to the tradition and capable of addressing the full range of human sexuality and human relationships at issue today.
520 $a The social model begins with the full, equal personhood of the three Persons in God (traditionally Father, Son, and Spirit). It then moves to locate the divine unity of God in the perfect relations of the Three; that is, in the perfect harmony of being, will and activity that makes them one God. Using the social model, a systematic theology is outlined as a foundation for developing a contemporary sexual ethics. The human community—in its capacity for relationship—is an image of the Trinity. Faithful theology can suggest the shape of ideal human relations: Christian sexual ethics should reflect the characteristics of Trinitarian love. Trinitarian relations are consensual, vital, mutual, sacrificial, symmetrical, fruitful, communal, and faithful. This ethical language should be used in Christian communities for the sexual education of the young.
520 $a The project concludes that the social model of the Trinity is valuable theology for Christians in the struggle to find a unity respectful of difference in the area of human sexuality. Implications are discussed for further application of the model in developing theological social ethics in the areas of gender, ecology, and pluralism.
