What is Marriage?: Toward a Theology of One-Flesh Union as the Image of the Trinity

What Is Marriage? offers a profound theological and philosophical exploration of marriage as a one-flesh union rooted in human nature and elevated by grace. Drawing on Scripture, natural law, historical analysis, and contemporary thought, Paul J. Murano presents marriage as an image of Trinitarian love. Addressing modern challenges to sex, family, and identity, this work proposes a compelling vision for renewing a culture of life grounded in truth, unity, and divine purpose.Testimonials:“This is a very useful, reliable, accurate, orthodox, and complete (historical, theological, philosophical, and cultural) summary of the Catholic teaching about marriage, the most essential of all human institutions.
