John Bergsma offers a biblical theology of marriage rooted in the Old and New Testaments.

"This book is something of a rarity: a comprehensive yet clear and compact scholarly examination of the covenant of marriage across the canonical Scriptures. Bergsma offers a thorough biblical-theological synthesis on marriage and communicates his findings with economy and clarity. He also draws from the great lights of living tradition and the history of exegesis. The Bible and Marriage will be useful for clergy and laity, scholars and students, Catholics and Protestants."
--Scott W. Hahn, Franciscan University of Steubenville

"In this prodigious but accessible work, Bergsma reveals, in a genuinely comprehensive manner, the central role of marriage in God's salvific economy, firmly establishing its sacramental nature--from its origin at creation, through each stage of salvation history, to its fulfillment in the wedding banquet of the Lamb. The book's sheer number of exegetical insights, its use of Jewish and patristic sources, and its compelling analysis of ancient words and concepts make this a rare and invaluable resource."
--Joseph Atkinson, John Paul II Institute

"Guiding readers on a captivating journey through the Bible, Bergsma surveys a tapestry of accounts that reveal the dignity and holiness of marriage in God's plan. With faithful scholarship, he reminds us that married couples are called to be self-gift, and thus to be an image of God's covenantal love for his people."
--Ximena DeBroeck, Mount St. Mary's Seminary and Loyola University Chicago (adjunct)
