Synopsis
Hookup culture is about much more than the quest for pleasure. It offers an easy way out of real communication and lasting relationships. It also teaches us to treat each other as objects for personal satisfaction. Even those who reject the hookup culture can still be negatively affected by it and develop poor habits of relating to others. In Off the Hook , Timothy P. O'Malley, professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame, shows how God's plan for love serves to heal the wounds of hookup culture and is a medicine for what ails our understanding of sex, romance, love, and marriage. Here are a few things Timothy O'Malley discovered from students in his popular undergraduate course, Nuptial Mystery: Divine Love and Human Salvation : Hookup culture is present in all his students' lives, whether they're hooking up or not. Some students approach sex and love as transitory and fleeting transaction--they love the idea of romance; they love the sexual chase; and they crave the hookup, but not the commitment. Other students have come to idolize the mystery of marriage and so their conception of what sex, love, and marriage will be like is overly romanticized and largely naive. This group lacks understanding about what real love and intimacy demand of two people in everyday life. In Off the Hook , O'Malley explains how the ethics of hooking up shape relationships between men and women and examines the considerable harm to individuals and society that results. By exploring the sacrament of marriage in its biblical, theological, and liturgical dimensions, he offers Catholic young adults and those charged with their formation and pastoral care a wealth of insight into God's plan for love. Young people will find help grappling with the Church's countercultural understanding of sex, love, and marriage. Parents and pastoral workers will discover a refreshing presentation of the Catholic theology of marriage and wise counsel about forming young people in the Church's vision. Newly married, and even long-married couples will find hope, courage, and the promise of sacramental love that can sustain them for a lifetime., Hookup culture is about much more than the quest for pleasure.

In Off the Hook, O'Malley-professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame-offers Catholic young adults and those charged with their formation a wealth of insight into how God's plan for love serves as an antidote to the wounds of a hookup culture that teaches them to treat each other as objects for personal satisfaction. He shows how marriage is a medicine for what ails popular assumptions of dating, sex, romance, and love. Book jacket.
