Is morality principally about sex, or naughty vicars? This lecture examines whether a biblical view of sexuality and gender assists today's ethical debates? A lecture by Richard Burridge, Visiting Professor of Ethics and Theology 27 February 2019 https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/gender-marriage-divorce-sexuality Is 'morality' principally about sex, or 'naughty vicars'? Despite Henry VIII, the Church has found divorce difficult, especially for clergy and bishops, let alone 'equal marriage' for same-sex couples, the role of women in ordained ministry or transgender issues. This lecture examines the relevant references in the New Testament (which are surprisingly fewer than references to money or violence) particularly in the context of ancient Jewish and Roman assumptions. Can a 'biblical' view of sexuality and gender assist today's ethical debates?
