ABSTRACT
Relying upon the classic theological reasoning that nature reveals the creator, this chapter presents a case that embodied psychology and Christian theology, in a form that lays aside its long history of negative attitudes towards sex, may intersect to produce a deeply affirming view of human sexuality. To bring the project of a natural theological interpretation of human sexuality into conversation with contemporary understanding of nature, at least two clusters of facts must be newly "baptized". The first of these is that the universe is almost infinitely bigger (by a hundred billion galaxies), and older (by thirteen billion years) than the universe upon which former theologians reflected. The second fact cluster, thoroughly established in the biological and psychological sciences, is that human persons are not hierarchical composites of body, mind, and soul, much less hierarchical arrangements of these components, but that each of US is one bio-psycho-socio-spiritual whole, embedded in multiple series of relational contexts.
