It cannot be easily dismissed as a flaccid, pacifist indulgence in an over-realised eschatology. Rather than relegate justice to the 'sweet by and by', Goff's account gives Christians sufficient cause (and the tools with which) to interrogate contemporary accounts of gender and warfare.\" -Shawn Aghajan, Studies in Christian Ethics, Vol. 29 No. 3, August 2016  \"Stan Goff's striking book - part memoir, part theological investigation of masculinity, part psychodynamic analysis of sex and war - .... is a relentless take-down of belief in redemptive violence, and war's ennobling character. .... [It] deserves a place on Christian Ethics, Feminist Studies, and War Studies courses.\" -The Revd Rachel Mann, Church Times, February 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword by Amy Laura Hall  Preface  Acknowledgments  1 - Introduction  2 - My Acquaintance with a Christian Soldier and Serial Rapist  3 - Forest Troop  4 - Body Counts  5 - Ontology of the Witch Hunt 6 - Ecologies of Power  7 - The Rise of the Lawyers  8 - Misbegotten Man  9 - Eros and War  10 - Practice Makes Perfect  11 - The Masculine Fortress  12 - Torture and Redemption  13 - The Pope's Army  14 - Sleepwalking  15 - Genealogy  16 - Bodies and Objects  17 - Contagious Prefix  18 - Just, Civil, and Total War - Sanctification of State  19 - A Bodyguard of Lies: Girl Story and Boy Story  20 - Origin Myths  21 - Paradox of Domination  22 - Disgust, Transgression, and Sex  23 - Respectability  24 - Progress and Fear of the Feminine  25 - Shell Shock  26 - Nation, Race, and Hygiene  27 - The Art of Depression  28 - Homos and Harlots  29 - Second World War  30 - Bombs, Babies, and 'Burbs  31 - The Herd  32 - Taboo  33 - Consent  34 - Clarifications  Bibliography  Index of Names  Index of Biblical References","brand":"James Clarke Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52084073955671,"sku":"9780718894078","price":33.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/borderline-reflections-on-war-sex-and-church-9780718894078","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
