BIBLE and INTERPRETATION
THE BIBLE AND MARRIAGE The Two Shall Become One Flesh John S. Bergsma A CATHOLIC BIBLICAL THEOLOGY OF THE SACRAMENTS Timothy C. Gray and John Sehorn, series editors
In The Bible and Marriage , John Bergsma demonstrates the biblical basis for the teaching that marriage is a sacrament. He offers a bib- lical theology of marriage rooted in the Old and New Testaments that will be interesting and informative to the church catholic. This new series is designed to complement the popular Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series. CBTS series volumes provide lay teachers with background and depth on the seven sacraments, making them suitable for classroom use and parish ministry. Series editors Timothy C. Gray and John Sehorn both teach at the Augustine Institute Graduate School of Theology, which equips leaders for the New Evangelization and prepares students for Christian mission through on-campus and distance education programs. Gray is also president of the Augustine Institute. FROM THE SERIES PREFACE Recognition of the life-giving symbiosis between Scripture and sacrament, so richly attested in the teaching of the Fathers of the Church, has proved difficult to maintain in the modern world. However much the Church has insisted upon the unity of word and sacrament, “the faithful are not always conscious of this connection,” so “there is great need for a deeper investigation of the relationship between word and sacrament in the Church’s pastoral activity and in theological reflection” (Benedict XVI, Verbum Domini 53). This series seeks to contribute to that “deeper investigation” by offering a biblical theology of each of the seven sacraments. . . . The purpose of the series, in short, is to foster a deeper appreciation of God’s gifts and call in the sacraments through a renewed encounter with his Word in Scripture.
