S125 Sex and the City of God: A narrative theology of sexuality in the context of creation, fall and redemption.
By Gordon Preece
Winter 2003

This paper uses as its jumping off point the long-running TV show "Sex and the City" as an illustration of a postmodern view of sexuality. It firsttly presents something of the
disillusioned "morning after' modernity flavour of Sex in the City's portrayal of "Postmodern Sex Ettiquette or Bed Manners." It then contrasts this with "Sex and the City of God, a narrative Theology of creation, fall and redemption," that makes sense of the mystery of sexuality. The paper outlines our created sexual ecology, our fallen condition of sexual anarchy, anonymity, idolatry and edeology and the redemptive possibilities of sexual therapy set within a Christian form of social construction aimed at the City of God, not a pseudo form of naturalistic sexual liberation based on nostalgia for the Garden of Eden.
