The Bible and Marriage w/ Dr. John Bergsma | Ep. 201
Catholic Theology Show
What if the Bible isn’t just a collection of laws and stories, but the original romantic comedy with the happiest ending of all time? Discover how marriage reveals the very heart of God’s Trinitarian love and why recovering this vision is urgent for our culture today. In this rich conversation on The Catholic Theology Show, host Michael Dauphinais welcomes Dr. John Bergsma, author of The Bible and Marriage: The Two Shall Become One Flesh by John Bergsma to explore how marriage stands at the very center of God’s plan for humanity, from Adam and Eve’s original communion, through the covenants and prophetic love stories like Hosea, to Jesus as the Bridegroom who prepares a place for His Church. Together they recover the beautiful biblical vision of companionate, indissoluble, self-giving love, address common misunderstandings about the Old Testament, polygamy, headship, and Ephesians 5, and show how the entire scriptural narrative is ultimately a divine romance culminating in the Wedding Feast of the Lamb.
