About this ebook

Finally--a theology of love that will help you navigate the confusing waters of modern relationship.

In the beginning, God created Adam. Then he made Eve. And ever since we've been picking up the pieces.

With an autobiographical thread that turns a book into a story, pastor and speaker John Mark Comer shares about what is right in male/female relationships--what God intended in the Garden. And about what is wrong--the fallout in a post-Eden world.

Loveology starts with marriage and works backward. Comer deals with sexuality, romance, singleness, and what it means to be male and female; ending with a raw, uncut, anything goes Q and A dealing with the most asked questions about sexuality and relationships.

This is a book for singles, engaged couples, and the newly married--both inside and outside the church--who want to learn what the Scriptures have to say about sexuality and relationships. For those who are tired of Hollywood's propaganda, and the church's silence. And for people who want to ask the why questions and get intelligent, nuanced, grace-and-truth answers, rooted in the Scriptures.

Ratings and reviews

It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't life changing or profound either. It's probably best for teenagers who are just coming to understand relationships. I read it for my adult bible study group and was really hoping for nuggets of wisdom to help me grow. Unfortunately, it was just sort of a vapid relational overview of things most adults are already aware of. Of course sex is good, of course you should be attracted to your spouse, of course the ideal situation for sexual encounters are within marriage, of course it's totally ok to be single and actually enjoy your life....Ideally not wasting my time reading this book and actually doing something worthwhile like going to the gym or hanging out with friends. My advice? Save your money and go to a movie or something. It's money better spent. The one kernel of good wisdom? There's way way more to life than relationships. Which is why I normally don't waste time reading this fluff. I want my time back 😫

Theology of love, in depth understanding of love, about love and basically whatever the cover of the book says, its delivered in full. Oh, this is one of the books that you can judge by its cover. Cause its brilliant.

Gave me a new outlook on my marriage. Thank you!
