One Body

One Body, Volume 1, is a rigorous philosophical exploration of love and sexuality written from a Christian perspective. Alexander R. Pruss examines the nature of romantic love by drawing on the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas. This work of theology and philosophy defines love through goodwill, appreciation, and unitiveness, arguing that romantic love is unique because it seeks a deep union of two people as one body.

This study in ethics and morality applies these foundational ideas to the nature of marriage and various complex social issues. Pruss addresses controversial topics in medical ethics and Christian books, including reproductive technology, contraception, and the link between sex and commitment. By blending religion and spirituality with academic rigor, One Body provides a sophisticated analysis of sexual ethics for philosophers and theologians.
