Reviews

"This book, animated by a spirit of warmth, offers a vision of sacramental marriage that is both traditional and creative. Levering allows the beauty of the sacramental way of life to shine through the technical distinctions that have sometimes seemed to obscure it. This is a learned and inspiring book."

--John Cavadini, University of Notre Dame

"Levering's Engaging the Doctrine of Marriage provides a breath of fresh air on an issue around which swirls profound, large-scale confusion and disagreement, as the theological and secular literature will attest. Engaging an impressive array of authors that span the gamut of perspectives, Levering restores biblical sobriety and fidelity to a proper understanding of the meaning and purpose of marriage. A welcome read, a must read."

--Paul Gondreau, Providence College

"All too often, theologies of marriage are biblically questionable, doctrinally thin, and overly focused on a handful of controversial moral issues. In this beautifully written and challenging study, Matthew Levering takes the theology of marriage to a whole new level by situating it within the context of the ultimate purpose for the cosmos: the 'mystical marriage' of God and creation. The end result is a book that weaves the biblical mystery of marriage into the nexus mysteriorum of the Trinity, creation, the fall, the cross, redemption, and even deification."

--Brant Pitre, Augustine Institute Graduate School of Theology
