"Far too many people, Christians not excluded, are self-centeredly
preoccupied with their own marital problems and their attempt to
engineer solutions to them. A theology of marriage can help them to
achieve a God-centered look at the larger situation of which their
marriages constitute a small, if by no means unimportant, part. In
the long run a few look means a new understanding, and a new
understanding means a new practice." - Geoffrey Bromiley Offering a
new look at the increasingly unfashionable institution of marriage,
Geoffrey Bromiley presents here a timely theological study which,
unlike others books on marriage, aims exclusively to relate
marriage to God as Creator, Son, and Holy Spirit. Bromiley observes
that God's work on reconciliation makes it possible for his people
also to achieve reconciliation with one another, particularly in
the marriage relationship. In addition to thoroughly discussing the
relationship of the Trinity to marriage, Bromiley examines such
topics as incest, adultery and fornication, celibacy, the
permanency of marriage, and remarriage after the death of a
partner. "Dr. Bromiley pays close, cautious, and sensitive
attention to virtually every Scriptural passage about marriage,
even the passages that are particularly difficult for our own era
to cope with. He makes no attempt to rewrite the Bible in the
interest of some specially modern idea. It is a book rooted deeply
in the immeasurable principles of Creation and Redemption, and is
full of sane, courageous, sound teaching." - Thomas Howard Gordon
College "I am very pleased with the book and feel it will fill a
very special place in the available literature on Christian
marriage...It stands apart from the superficial writing that all
but characterizes our time. How-to books are of little value apart
from the basic theological understanding which must precede them.
This is a book I would like to have written, and a book which will
be required reading for my students." - Dwight Small Westmont
College Geoffrey W. Bromiley is professor emeritus of Church

Pasadena, California. He is best known as the translator of
numerous theological books, including the 9-volume Theological
Dictionary of the New Testament.
