A Framework of God's Design from the Garden to Today
by Bruno Borges, Ph.D.
Biblical Sexuality presents a clear, compassionate, and biblically grounded framework for understanding God’s design for human sexuality—rooted in Genesis and lived out through redemption, discipleship, and embodied faithfulness.
In a cultural landscape marked by confusion and division over sexuality, the Church is often tempted to respond reactively rather than redemptively. Biblical Sexuality: A Framework of God’s Design from the Garden to Today offers a better way forward—one grounded in Scripture, shaped by theology, and informed by pastoral ministry.
Anchored in Genesis 2:15–25, Dr. Bruno Borges presents a comprehensive framework that reveals sexuality as a deeply relational aspect of God’s created order, not merely a physical or behavioral issue. The book explores God’s original design before the Fall, the distortions introduced by sin, and the redemptive hope offered through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Rather than focusing on isolated moral debates, this framework helps readers understand how sexuality functions within God’s intended order—and how brokenness emerges when that order is disrupted.
With clarity and compassion, Biblical Sexuality addresses key issues facing the Church today, including identity, singleness, marriage, sexual brokenness, and the Church’s witness in a fractured world. Written for pastors, ministry leaders, parents, and thoughtful believers, this book equips readers to disciple others with both truth and grace, moving beyond reaction toward restoration.
Ultimately, Biblical Sexuality is not simply about sexual ethics—it is a call for the Church to embody God’s design in a way that reflects the redemptive heart of the Gospel and restores our witness to the world.
