About this ebook

 God’s love for his people is a mysterious analogy for marriage. In this essay, author Scott Hahn depicts the story of the world through the lens of the God's covenantal love and shows that at the heart of the Scriptures is a love story--a love between God and man--that is fittingly portrayed to us as nuptial love. “As if to emphasize the point,” Hahn says, “the Church arranged the Scriptures so that the biblical canon begins and ends with a wedding” – the earthly wedding between Adam and Eve and the Divine Wedding Feast of the Lamb. Defining the meaning of certain Hebrew words unfamiliar to the modern reader, Hahn clearly explains essential passages from Scripture which together underscore why nuptial love is the central and most-used analogy of God’s relationship to His people.
