—The Human Sexuality of Jesus
THE XXX FILES
In this provocative and poetic exploration, Edward Oh Kim invites us to open the sealed files of what religion rarely dares to examine: The Human Sexuality of Jesus. Part theology, part cultural commentary, part personal reflection, The XXX Files dives headfirst into the mystery of embodiment, desire, and the erotic undercurrent of divine love.
Drawing from ancient texts, contemporary psychology, mysticism, and lived experience, Edward confronts the silence and shame surrounding sexuality in spiritual traditions—and breaks it wide open. What if sex was never meant to be taboo, but sacred? What if Jesus, who showed up as bone-of-our-bone and skin-of-our-skin, entered not only our minds and spirits, but also our cravings, vulnerabilities, and ecstasies?
This is a theological inquiry where no quadrant of sexuality is left untouched. Purity culture, divinity virgin myths, LGBTQ+ inclusion, abortion, masturbation, oral sex, polygamy, polygyny, polyamory, sex work, trauma, pleasure, and the possibility that Jesus was married—every subject most theologians skip, author Edward Oh Kim drags into daylight and sets on the communion table.
This is not a gentle read. It is for the brave heart willing to deconstruct old paradigms and enter the holy of holies through the most scandalous of doors. For those who’ve been exiled from religious spaces for being “too much” or “not enough.” For the curious, the courageous, the broken, the healing. For anyone who’s ever wondered: Did Jesus know desire? Did he experience arousal, touch, connection? And if so—what does that mean for us? The XXX Files: The Human Sexuality of Jesus is part exposé, part love letter, and entirely unashamed. These are the hidden files. The forbidden archives. The questions that linger behind stained glass and whispered prayers. And now, at last, the door is unlocked.
