Covenant marriage in comparative perspective, c.1-3

This book 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. This book brings together eminent scholars form 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 covenant marriage.
