Between the Sexes: Foundations for a Christian Ethics of Sexuality
The basis for a Christian sexual ethic, says
Cahill, is a correlation of four sources:
Scripture, Christian tradition (of faith,
theology, and practice), philosophy,
(normative accounts), and the empirical
sciences (descriptive accounts).

"A down-to-earth, common-sense approach to a Christian ethics of male-female relationships that is both compassionate and convincing…Christians seeking to practice their Christian faith in our world of sexual confusion and turmoil will appreciate Cahill's daring insights."'
– Deane Willliam Ferm, St. Luke's Journal of Theology
"Cahill's book is a welcome contribution to current discussion of sexual morality; its argument cuts a path between the extreme positions of popular current polemics and established grounds for a solid Christian ethics of sexuality, substantively and methodologically. Subsequent writings, if they are competent, will have to deal with her argument. That is the highest tribute a review can, I think, give to any book."
– James M. Gustafson, America
