DVCO 704 - Sexuality and Pastoral Care (3)

This course will investigate the theological, physiological, psychological, spiritual, and social-cultural variables associated with life-giving sexuality, sexual identity, and sexual disorders. Attention is given to a theology of sexuality as it relates to living Christian values regarding sexuality in contemporary society. Consideration is given to common sexual issues and their treatment from a pastoral perspective. The Bible presents a wonderfully high view of sexuality, that when understood and lived out well empowers the pastor/counselor and congregation to incarnate the Gospel with more fullness as each member moves toward redeemed sexuality.
