Love, sex and marriage
Book Description
Exploring the sacred dimensions of intimate relationships, this illuminating study examines how three major world religions understand love, marriage, and family life. Drawing from the Hebrew Scriptures, New Testament, and Koran, along with centuries of religious scholarship, the book reveals how Judaism, Christianity, and Islam each view marriage as far more than a legal arrangement.
Within these faith traditions, marriage emerges as a divine institution with profound spiritual significance, designed to fulfill both personal and cosmic purposes. The authors demonstrate how each religion sees matrimony as essential for building homes, nurturing families, and sustaining society itself. Rather than treating marriage as merely a human contract, these traditions recognize it as a sacred bond blessed by divine authority.
Three respected scholars guide readers through the intricate laws, customs, and teachings that shape intimate relationships within each faith. They explore the spiritual foundations of courtship and betrothal, examine the religious understanding of physical intimacy, and investigate how each tradition approaches family dynamics and the dissolution of marriage.
While revealing striking similarities in how these monotheistic faiths honor marriage, the book also illuminates meaningful differences in their approaches to love, sexuality, and family life. Written in clear, accessible language, this comparative study offers valuable insights for anyone seeking to understand how ancient wisdom traditions view the sacred nature of human relationships and their role in spiritual development.
