Sinossi

Series: Religion, Marriage, and Family (RMF) Covenant marriages requiring premarital counseling and tighter strictures on divorce have recently emerged in some American states. At the same time, the doctrine of covenant has reemerged in religious circles as a common way to map the spiritual dimensions of marriage. Covenant Marriage in Comparative Perspective brings together eminent scholars from Jewish, Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, and Islamic religious traditions as well as experts on American covenant marriage. The introduction carries out an unprecedented comparison of contract and covenant in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim understandings of marriage. The rest of the book elucidates various facets of marriage from the perspectives of both jurisprudence and religion, producing an enlightening integrated picture of the legal and spiritual dimensions of marriage. Contributors: Azizah Y. al-Hibri Margaret F. Brinig Michael J. Broyde Eliza Ellison Stanley Samuel Harakas Peter Hay James Turner Johnson Michael G. Lawler Richard C. Martin Joel A. Nichols Stephen L. Nock David Novak Katherine Shaw Spaht Max L. Stackhouse John Witte Jr.
