Reviews/Comments

“This is a very good book. It contains a variety of approaches and themes and it is very well and concisely written. Reading it for the first time helped me to think more critically about some issues concerning the theology of marriage. I know that when I read it again (which I certainly will) there will be more food for thought.” — Sarah Jones
