Sex, Media and theology - a provocative mix. Reactions can vary from rejection to openness and curiosity. This volume follows the latter path: on the background of changes in contemporary sexual culture and theological developments in the reflection on sexuality, three media - internet, advertising and film - are analysed with respect of their representation of sexuality and their contribution to theological reflections on sex. This shows: sex in media is more than a provocation; it provides an inspiration for theological thinking about human beings, their relationships with others, and also with God.

Sex, media and theology – a provocative mix! Reactions can vary from rejection to openness and curiosity. This volume follows the latter path: against the background of changes in contemporary sexual culture and theological developments in reflections on sexuality, three media – the internet, advertising and film – are analysed with respect to their representation of sexuality and their contribution to theological reflections on sex. The findings indicate that sex in media is more than a provocation; it provides an inspiration for theological thinking about human beings, their relationships with others, and also with God.
