"College Hookup Culture and Christian Ethics weaves together original ethnographic research, theological reflection on full human living and loving, and a justice-oriented analysis of sexual norms and campus culture in a way that is engaging, insightful, and thought-provoking even if, at times, it is also unsettling and uncomfortable ... For anyone interested in learning more about student experiences and working toward creating more just and supportive environments for college students, College Hookup Culture and Christian Ethics is an engaging and worthwhile read." --Abbylynn Helgevold, Reading Religion "This book offers an astonishingly new and courageous perspective on questions of sexuality, especially in the context of contemporary student sexual practice in American colleges and universities. Without being 'moralistic,' Jennifer Beste intriguingly combines student empirical research with both secular and Christian anthropological, theological, and ethical proposals. In its fullness, this is a book that brilliantly probes both pain and pleasure, love and happiness, justice and care, hope and community-illuminated within the complex sphere of human sexuality."--Margaret A. Farley, Gilbert L. Stark Professor Emerita of Christian Ethics, Yale University Divinity School "Few works in Christian sexual ethics draw upon ethnographic methodologies to take into account the perspectives of the moral agents themselves. Professor Beste's study does just that. The amount and richness of the gathered qualitative material alone makes this book well worth the read. But Professor Beste goes well beyond field description to trenchant analysis of the allure and dangers of hook-up culture for young adults. This book will be a benchmark in both ethnographic theology and qualitative sociology on the subject."--Todd Whitmore, Associate Professor, Department of Theology and Department of Anthropology, University of Notre Dame "Beste writes: 'At root is the fundamental fear that vulnerability to being hurt and betrayed represents failure, which has become the greatest social taboo of all.' Risk taboo. Risk knowing the young people around you. Risk reading what you don't want to know. I am an ordained minister and a mother. I teach at a university notorious for hookup culture. Read this book."--Amy Laura Hall, Duke University Divinity School, "These studies are worthwhile reads for anyone who cares about young adults and faith, but they are must-reads for those of us who work on campuses with students and claim to care about their spiritual well-being." -- Dr. Ryan K Strader, Clayton State University, International Journal of Christianity & Education "College Hookup Culture and Christian Ethics weaves together original ethnographic research, theological reflection on full human living and loving, and a justice-oriented analysis of sexual norms and campus culture in a way that is engaging, insightful, and thought-provoking even if, at times, it is also unsettling and uncomfortable ...

This is a book that everyone who works on a college campus should read. It is an accurate and candid presentation of what our students face and carry on a daily basis ... Beste's writing is clear, accessible, and relatable, making it effective in an introductory-level course yet so rich with insights that it will spark novel comments and questions among advanced students. I have taught this book in multiple courses, rated by students as the best text on the syllabus." -- Marcus Mescher, Journal of Religion "These studies are worthwhile reads for anyone who cares about young adults and faith, but they are must-reads for those of us who work on campuses with students and claim to care about their spiritual well-being." -- Dr. Ryan K Strader, Clayton State University, International Journal of Christianity & Education "College Hookup Culture and Christian Ethics weaves together original ethnographic research, theological reflection on full human living and loving, and a justice-oriented analysis of sexual norms and campus culture in a way that is engaging, insightful, and thought-provoking even if, at times, it is also unsettling and uncomfortable ...

Synopsis
In America, Christian adolescents and young adults have grown up with fiercely competing narratives about sex, relationships, and fulfillment. Within a Christian world of church services, formal religious education, and retreats, they have been warned about the dangers and sinfulness of premarital sex. All the while, popular culture has inundated them with a very different message: casual sex is fun, thrilling, expected, and no-big-deal. Popular culture's influence is perhaps nowhere more evident than on college campuses where hookups--casual sexual encounters devoid of commitment or emotional attachment--have become the norm for emerging adults. College Hookup Culture and Christian Ethics engages 126 college students as sober ethnographers whose task is to observe and analyze their own complex social reality. Part I reveals students' disillusionment with contemporary sexual and relational norms, challenging benevolent or even neutral views of hookup culture. Part II brings the students into conversation with Christianity's counter-cultural narrative of what it means to become fully human and experience genuine joy and fulfillment. The spokesperson for this vision is theologian Johann Metz, whose portrait of Jesus enduring his desert temptations and becoming fully human resonates profoundly with today's college students. Comparing Jesus' way of being in the world with their college culture's status quo, many undergraduates discover in "poverty of spirit" a hopeful, counter-cultural path to authenticity and happiness. Part III culminates in a call to action. Students explore obstacles to sexual justice on college campuses, identify key commitments necessary for change, and envision how undergraduates can work to create the college culture they truly desire and deserve., What do undergraduates really think about parties, hookups, and relationships? After analyzing their own complex social reality, Jennifer Beste's students engage in dialogue with theologians, ethicists, and social scientists about paths to happiness and the best ways to create sexual and relational justice on their college campuses., Today's Christian adolescents and young adults have grown up with fiercely competing narratives about sex, relationships, and fulfillment. Within a Christian world of church services and formal religious education, they have been warned repeatedly about the dangers (or sinfulness) of premarital sex. At the same time, popular culture has inundated them with a very different message: casual sex is fun, thrilling, expected, and no big deal. Jennifer Beste calls into question the widespread assumption that the media's narrative of sex is positively liberating, while a Christian theological account is repressive, sex-negative, and altogether irrelevant. Her argument is based on a qualitative analysis of college students' own accounts of their social and sexual culture. She draws on the reflections of 126 undergraduate students who set out as sober ethnographers to observe and analyze peers at college parties. Overwhelmingly, undergraduates' perspectives challenge a neutral or even benevolent view of hookup culture embraced by some sociologists, "sex-positive" feminists, and popular culture in general. Beste goes on to share her own and her students' theological and ethical reflections as they explored the intersection between their social reality, the Christian tradition, and other academic disciplines, and sought to discern more deeply: what it means to become fully human; what constitutes happiness and fulfillment; and how to envision and create more socially and sexually just communities.
