Drawing on a rich diversity of sociological and biblical perspectives, Elaine Storkey explores the meaning of intimacy. She looks at childhood and adult relationships, friendship, marriage, and differences in outlook between men and women, maintaining that barriers to intimacy can be surmounted. Personal knowledge is crucial, as is knowledge of God, the "source of intimacy which will sustain us and take us into deeper relationships with others".
