the holiness of love; through sexual desire the
holiness of body reveals itself, that is why the
sexual love is an expression of mans beauty. The
result of the marital giving and receiving is the union of
persons.

Conclusion
Though a long line of theologians appreciate the
theology of body, some have raised a dissenting voice
as, it is an unrealistic view of human sexuality,
arguments trying to show how celibacy and virginity
understood in terms of nuptial meaning of body is
unconvincing, and does not take modern biblical
scholarship into consideration etc.
