Episode 145 - Carolyn Weber, "Sex and the City of God"


Listen Later

“In spite of a hundred disadvantages, the world will always return to monogamy.
Covenantal sex remembers us.
” - Carolyn Weber

On this edition of Restoring the Soul, Michael welcomes Carolyn Weber to the podcast.

The title of today’s podcast is Sex and the City of God and even though the word “sex” is in the title, you will find out in today’s spirited conversation, Carolyn’s book of the same name is surely and mostly about marriage―what comes before and what we receive afterward. It is about all the most important loves we have and how they grow softly and strong and sturdy over time. Through her personal story, as well as spiritual, theological, and literary reflection, you will discover that Carolyn explores what life looks like when we choose to love God first.

Carolyn Weber is the award-winning author of Surprised by Oxford and is also an international speaker. Dr. Weber holds her MPhil and DPhil from Oxford University, England and has served as faculty at a number of colleges including Seattle University and Westmont College. Her first memoir, Surprised by Oxford won among other distinctions the Grace Irwin Award, the largest award for Christian writing in Canada.

In this podcast, we hope you will discover:

  • Sex is a signpost or foretaste (foreshadowing) of our relationship with God.
  • Our basic desire is to be fully known.
  • Grace isn’t karma and grace isn’t accumulative.
