Marriage in Genesis -- Marriage in the law, wisdom, and prophets -- Marriage in the New Testament -- Marriage in the world today.

Marriage is so much more than a human institution. The Bible teaches that marriage was created by God and reveals an eternal mystery -- the mystery of the gospel. In this way, marriage paints a picture of our salvation in and through Jesus Christ. Pastor Ray Ortlund traces the Bible's teaching on marriage from Genesis to Revelation -- revealing how marriage stands at the center of God's redemptive purposes for the world. Helping us grasp a cosmic vision of this oft-misunderstood institution, this volume honors and exalts marriage as a grand display of the gospel, offering guidance and hope for our own marriages today.
