英文摘要 | Although many church people, as well as leaders in Christian communities, do not always recognize it, we are today in the midst of a sexual revolution. The body as a biological phenomenon is common to humanity as a whole. It is a superb symbol of wholeness, of variety-in-unity, of proportion, or power in males, of beauty in females. The images of the body have varied from time to time: from innocence to shame, from vulnerability to culpability, and from present worthlessness to future bliss in the resurrection of the body. Desire is sometimes called "sensuality." It is the particular form of sensual desire associated with envy, greed, and coveting. Desire in the form of eros is essential to love, even to the love of beauty or truth or theology, according to Paul Tillich. Sexual desire and sexual autonomy are evil if they bypass the centre of the other person, i.e., if they are not united with the two other qualities of love, and if they are not under the ultimate criterion of the agape quality of love in marriage. Agape sees the other half as God sees him/her. Agape elevates libido into the divine unity of love and dignity. Modernization in terms of marketability, commodity, electronic games, and other modern appliances fosters the illusion that getting an owning will actually make us immortal and blissful. It also encourage concupiscence. Concupiscence is the desire to acquire, to own, to indulge, to take pleasure, and to consume. It causes us to covet and disposes us to greed and avarice. Concupiscence is a perversion of love; it inverts means and ends. |
