Under the Bed of Heaven

Under the Bed of Heaven

STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK PRESS

Explores how concepts of sex in heaven can inform Christian sexual ethics in ways that challenge traditional norms and open new possibilities.Finalist for the 2022 Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion, Constructive-Reflective Studies presented by the American Academy of Religion Under the Bed of Heaven is a work of Christian ethics that examines how eschatology might reshape concepts of sexual morality. With the rise of institutional Christianity in the Roman Empire, Christian attitudes about sexual desire and activity were soon controlled by doctrines of virginity and celibacy, or, monogamous marriage for the sake of procreation. These moral theologies aligned with a certain track of Christian eschatology, which imagined the future resurrection of the body, but without any corresponding sexual desires. As a result, traditional Christianity developed a preference for celibacy on earth to match the loss of sexual desire and activity in heaven, making marriage and monogamy temporal goods only.In recent years, a few scholars of religion have challenged whether this vision of a sexless heaven is valid. However, they have not fully developed a vision of sex in heaven that might function to critique and reform Christian sexual ethics on earth. Richard W. McCarty explores scripture, church teachings, and different models of eschatology to offer a bold new conception of Christian sexual ethics that is inclusive of LGBTQ and heterosexual people, both in and outside of monogamous configurations.

Back in the Sixties while Motown hits filled the airwaves, na ve Jill Novak acknowledged her knack for choosing losers when boring Husband Number One vanished, leaving her to support their two-year-old. Afflicted with planning deficit disorder, the perpetual daydreamer soon morphs from small town Jill to sophisticated big city Cherie, but a new name does not a better future bring. In 1969 Houston, Cherie encounters a rogue's gallery of characters unlike those from her small Texas hometown; a drop-dead gorgeous transsexual, a snarling wannabe Mafia hit-man, a hairy cop who incorporates fondling girls into his job, and a ditzo neighbor whose desire for friendship borders on stalking. But it is two distinctly different men-a middle-age gregarious gambler and a twenty-something gruff intellectual-who jump on board her turbulent thirty-year roller coaster ride and journey with her into the 21st Century and womanhood.

The Poetry and Poetic Prose of D. B. Walace

"D. B. Wallace is a find as exciting in the telling as Wallace is in himself. He surely speaks to every human being who has ever been misunderstood." --The Literary Times of ICG/iCNN D. B. Wallace was known to his neighbors as "the man in apartment 112." He occupied this space for more than 40 years. Nothing is known of how he provided for himself. Nothing is known of his antecedents, of the existence of family or friends. In fact, it is virtually impossible to separate fact from fiction with respect to him. That he was talked about there can be no doubt. That those who talked knew anything of what they spoke seems improbable. It would be fair to say that he was something of a neighborhood institution and, as such, opinion was divided as to whether he was insane or otherwise mentally defective, whether an eccentric recluse or, as a slim few maintained, a genius preoccupied with his own muse. Moonlight Murder was his final manuscript. It seems to be unfinished, but some have found in it an intricate coherence that suggests the opposite. His corpus is currently being published in reverse chronological sequence. 40,000 pages of text-poetry, prose and this (what he called poetic prose)-were stacked about a deal table and chair. No indication was ever uncovered that any of the manuscripts was intended for publication. Though the author of numerous novels and hundreds of short stories, Wallace always experienced the demands of plot as an artistic constraint. Plot, he maintained, creates the greatest possible distraction. A text, he repeats frequently in his notes, is like the smell of a cigar. It isn't about anything other than itself, the "feeling shades" of being alive. He seems to have seen the loss of this intuitive awareness, as an aesthetic and a philosophy of life, as very much at the heart of contemporary global distress. It would not be fair to describe his work as pessimistic. His voice, so incredibly distinctive, seems informed at every point by what he himself called "the sacred."
