THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION AS A BLAST FROM THE PAST

'In some ways, the culture has indeed revolutionized, but even in these ways the revolution is more of a step backward, to old heresies made new by technological and economic tools rather than a move into a brave, new world. The debates over the the definition of marriage, for example, and the malleability of gender are rooted in very old (and biblically mistaken) concepts of a fundamental disconnect between the self as "soul" from the body. The priority of sexual expression as essential to wholeness and well-being is similarly rooted in an almost sacred view of the orgasm as a kind of ecstatic spirituality.' 
Russell Moore, Onward, p.171.
