Description
Marriage : selected paternal passages
Marriage is a divinely instituted mystery. A blessed union of man and woman for the purpose of mutual assistance and the perpetuation of the human race. A sacred, tried and tested institution that, despite the attacks it receives from time to time, has withstood the test of time. This book presents 140 patristic excerpts in which the views of the holy Teachers of our Church are presented, on the subject of marriage and its parameters, such as: Its divine constitution, the connection of bodies, marriage and fornication-adultery, limitations of carnal connection in marriage, marriage in the afterlife, celibacy to avoid the burdens of marriage and beliefs of the pre-Christian peoples about it. The issue concludes with the wonderful apostolic excerpt of the Marriage Service (Ephesians 5:20-33). In times when everything is questioned and attacked, knowledge of the deeper meaning of an ancient institution, such as marriage, becomes necessary for anyone interested in possessing the truth.
