This brilliant, timely handbook shows how and why the Bible is often at the heart of modern identity debates about sex and sexuality. With deft historical and textual sleuthing, it teases out a rich diversity of biblical sexualities, exposes the readings and misreadings that have clung to them, and invites readers to handle biblical receptions with both care and a wink. * Robert J. Myles, University of Divinity, Australia *

Myles, University of Divinity, Australia * This handbook is a brilliant resource for students, teachers, scholars, religious leaders, and anyone interested in sexuality and the Bible. Greenough and Blyth have gathered a stellar roster of contributors, and the essays range from fresh takes on classic topics (such as gay and lesbian interpretation or purity laws) to compelling work on underexplored unexplored questions (such as AI and pornography or asexuality). The essays are clearly written, effectively organized, and eminently teachable. I can't wait to use this book in class! * Rhiannon Graybill, University of Richmond, USA *
