Description
The first anthology ever published for use in the theology of marriage course, this comprehensive text offers selections on a broad range of topics, including marriage in historical perspective, contemporary theological perspectives on marriage as a sacrament, commitment and fidelity, attitudes toward sexuality, communication and conflict, divorce and annulment, and inter-religious perspectives on marriage. An appendix reprints ecclesiastical documents on marriage, and the editors' introductions to chapters and to individual readings enhance the accessibility of the text.
