Faith with Benefits

Rezensionen / Stimmen

With the accessible and disarming tone of an advice column, this book is a must-read for students, parents, student counselors, teachers, and researchers who are trying to enrich their understandings of campus lifestyles. * Jeremee D. Nute, The University of Alabama, Religious Studies Review * In the attempt to make hookups relational, King shows that there is a wide spectrum of what constitutes a relationship. * James F. Keenan, S.J., Boston College, Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics (JSCE) * Jason King has now written a book that helps us understand the various nuances among sexual cultures within Catholic institutions. * Perry L. Glanzer, Baylor University, Christian Scholar's Review * [King] provides a great deal of data from his research as well as the insights of the students themselves, and he helpfully takes us deeper into the differing Catholic cultures to give us a feel of their resources and of the strategies their students ingeniously develop. In a word, his research and analysis are credible and very satisfying. * Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics * Provide[s] us with brilliant insight into the sexual lives of Catholic college students. * Christian Scholar's Review * The book will be engaging for undergraduates taking marriage and sexual ethics courses, in part because King's language is readable and the topic very much engages their own interests. * Horizons * Should be the go-to book for those involved in undergraduate student life in Catholic higher education. * Sociology of Religion * [T]his book is probably most appropriate for those interested in understanding campus cultures. In particular, King makes many recommendations for people that work for Catholic colleges and who want to provide students with an alternative to the hookup culture. * Reading Religion *
