About this listen

In this combined tale and treatise, bivocational pastor and nurse David encounters the past. Surprised and upset to find a large crowd in ancient dress at his favorite swimming hole, he is shocked when some of them disrobe for a baptism ceremony, performed totally in the nude! Antiquity offers a fatal blow to the wall in David's mind that keeps his experiences of hospital nudity from confronting the taboos of his upbringing. When that wall topples, he gains a new perspective on life in Bible times, a deeper theological appreciation of human embodiment, and a pricked conscience about the root cause of our culture's obsession with pornography. Join David, as he unlearns deceptions as old as Eden, relearns truths as relevant as our children's future, and faces the test of his transformed thinking by the challenge of four skinny-dipping Bible college students.

Beautiful and profound

David’s writing has had a profound impact on my life. What he says here about the unclad body is deeply true.
My only critique is that he somewhat misunderstands ancient Christianity (for example, they would never forgo the Eucharist after a baptism). The baptism rite of the ancient church is still alive in Orthodox Christianity today, and the baptism liturgy still calls for the baptism to be performed “unclad and unshod” (though it doesn’t seem to be practiced that way very often in America).
