The author does well at affirming that the body was created by God, was originally good, points to Jesus, and has been corrupted as part of the decay of the creation.
When he turns to start speaking about the "mystery" of marriage, the family, the beauty of singleness, etc., he has many good points, but it seems that he is more invested in an Augustinian anthropology than a strictly Biblical one. I would imagine the author would not see any daylight between the two, but Augustine, like the rest of us, has his priors, and when it comes to the body that must be frankly admitted.
His discussion of the "sacramental" nature of the body, that it should be dedicated to God and all that demands, is effective. His survey of society is a predictable jeremiad about the current norms regarding human sexuality.
The author tries diligently to be the most gentle and hospitable he can be in fighting the culture war, but make no mistake: this is a treatise shaped by the culture war and looking to advance an argument in the culture war. If that's what you're looking for, that's what this is. If you're looking for a comprehensive Christian anthropology, this isn't it. If you're looking for a Christian sexual anthropology, this still really isn't it.
