Aging and Loving: Christian Faith and Sexuality in Later Life addresses the social, ethical, physical, and spiritual aspects of sexuality and aging, targeting professionals who minister to older adults, the elderly themselves, and their families. It focuses on individuals aged sixty-five and older, a demographic often overlooked regarding their sexual needs and experiences. As this age group faces new challenges due to physical and psychological changes, as well as shifts in living situations, it is vital to recognize that being human includes being sexual. Dismissing or undermining this reality can be damaging and reflects a form of ageism that equates aging with the end of a meaningful life. The book aims to illuminate the complexities of sexuality in later life and the choices available to older adults, offering a theological and ethical framework that affirms their sexuality as essential to their humanity. By providing valuable insights for the aged, their caregivers, and families, it seeks to foster respect for the dignity of older adults and present a liberating ethical perspective on Christian love that addresses the unique challenges of sexuality in later life.
