The Spiritual Marriage between Christ and His Church and Every One of the Faithful

Developing from Girolamo Zanchi's exegetical labors through Ephesians, Spiritual Marriage draws readers into the rich theological doctrine of union with Christ. Following the lead of the apostle Paul, Zanchi demonstrates how our earthly marriages fulfill their truest purpose by drawing our attention toward the spiritual marriage between Christ and His Church. By paying attention to the Genesis account of Adam's marriage to Eve, to pertinent Old Testament laws, and to the teachings of Jesus and His apostles, we begin to understand something of that higher and heavenly union.
