Exploring the complexities of erotic love, this book analyzes its representation in the Bible, patristic theology, mystical writings, philosophy, and literature. It critiques both extreme conservative views on lust and overly idealistic interpretations of eros, revealing how these themes illuminate fundamental Christian beliefs regarding Jesus Christ, the afterlife, and the Trinity. The work offers a nuanced perspective that enriches the understanding of love within a theological context.

The afterlife is often a concern during fragile moments of reproductive loss. The historical church ignored the death of unborn beings and the precarity of pregnancy, focusing more on the soul than the body. A new approach to eschatology is needed that upholds emerging unborn life and the pregnant believer's moral agency.
