Marriage As a Covenant: Biblical Law and Ethics As Developed from Malachi (Biblical Studies Library)

Rating:
Summary: Comprehensive review of all relevant material
Review: Hugenberger's mastery of all scholarship on the issue of marriage in the Bible and in the ancient near east is extremely impressive. Every argument in the book is well thought out and proven; every counter point that may be raised is present. This book is invaluable for a scholar wishing to deal with the particular issues of Biblical marriage as well as the broader topic of biblical law and theology. However, the book is a little difficult to read and I personally would not recommend it for the casual reader. Its density is however, a substantial benefit for the researcher.
