The Shout of the Bridegroom: Understanding Christ's Intimate Love for His Church

By Latayne C. Scott, R. Glenn Greenwood, Latayne Colvett Scott

From the very onset of time, God has sanctified and celebrated marriage. From pursuing Israel, the wayward betrothed, to illustrating on the mountainside, the Bible is full of references to marriage. He even chose this institution as the template for His relationship with us. But, for the twenty-first century reader, some of the significance of the first-century marriage customs and traditions get lost in the translation, bleaching our understanding of its rich, vibrant hues. Dr. Greenwood and Latayne Scott color the misplaced shades by bringing those early Jewish marriage customs to the here and now. From the selection of the bride to the shout of the Bridegroom, understanding this marriage metaphor will deepen our comprehension of our relationship with the Savior and our position as His bride. Whether used as a personal Bible study aid or in a group setting, The Shout of the Bridegroom will transform your picture of Biblical marriage and God's love story for us. Book jacket.
