What Does the Bible Say About Marriage? A Biblical Foundation for Covenant, Creation, and Kingdom

This five-chapter course explores the Bible's teaching on marriage as a covenantal union rooted in creation, embodied in household life, revealing Christ's relationship to the Church, and extending into God's renewed creation. Rather than settling for reductive views (companionship-only or dualistic denial of embodied life), we return to the original biblical text to discover marriage's richer theological significance: it is simultaneously a creation mandate, a covenant bond, a sexual and relational union, and a sign of Christ's redemptive love. Each chapter is anchored in a key passage and progressively deepens our understanding through textual, theological, cultural, and historical evidence.
