Bloomsbury presents Chastity: Reconciliation of the Senses by Erik Varden read by John Sackville

The word ‘chastity’, at first sight, may seem intimidating, something to be dismissed out of hand. It is, however, something very different to celibacy.

At a time when religion is in decline in the Western world and when it often seems that the senses have run riot, Erik Varden shows that chastity, the single minded direction of the senses, is a loveable quality and one that affects and beautifies humankind.

The terms sexuality and wholeness indicate that to be sexual is to exist in a state of incompleteness longing to be restored. Wholeness points to a healing embrace that we desire so greatly. In Biblical language, chastity is a function of simplicity of sight. We are no longer torn apart by our passions and our desires, indeed they may reach their fulfilment. Body and spirit, male and female, order and disorder, passion and death can move from creative tension to a new kind of wholeness.

Varden’s text is enriched by a wide range of references to scripture, literature, music, painting and sculpture.©2023 Erik Varden (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Christian Living Christianity Other Religions, Practices & Sacred Texts

A book desperately needed for our times, Bishop Varden’s non judgmental but compassionate and clear sighted evaluation of the brokenness of the human heart mixed with the practical advice of the desert fathers is a much needed intervention in a culture that seeks healing and doesn’t know where to find it. Thanks Bishop Varden.

Are we at the mercy of our appetites? No, and this book shows you how that is not the case.

Beautifully read. And wholly beautiful content. Full of revelation on what it means to be human and steward these desires to their ultimate fulfilment found in Christ.

Outstanding.
