This book provides a literary analysis of New Testament texts on marriage, sex, family, and celibate ideals.

This book provides a literary analysis of New Testament texts on marriage, sex, family, and celibate ideals. It seeks to explore if, how, and eventually to what extent the New Testament favors sexual abstinence. The core of this study consequently consists of fresh perspectives on the issue of sexual abstinence in the New Testament through close readings of 1 Cor 7, Gal 3:28, Matt 19:10–12, and Mark 12:18–27/Matt 22:23–33/Luke 20:27–40, with a keen eye to the many ambassadors of abstinence in the texts—characters exhibiting sexual abstinence given a favorable characterization and function.

As a comprehensive literary analysis of these texts from this perspective lacks precedent in contemporary biblical scholarship, the study is a valuable contribution to the ongoing scholarly debate on the biblical views on sex and marriage.
