Sex in the City of God

At the 12th annual Aquinas-Luther Conference of October 21-23, 2004, I presented a paper entitled "Sex in the City of God: Why God Made Sex and Marriage." It was a lively conference, with, among others, Dr. Janet Smith, Bishop Peter Jugis of the Diocese of Charlotte, and Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon, the Orthodox priest and editor of Touchstone Magazine, on the panel of speakers. A version of this paper was first published with permission of the author under the same title in the Lutheran Forum (Summer 2005), pp. 38-49. Since I retain the copyright (© 2004), I've decided to make the paper available on line. The versions published on the linked sites below, is a transcript of the original address with minor editions:
