Trade Review
"A powerful, at times brilliant, brief for Christian churches blessing same-sex unions. This is not merely a contribution to gay studies; any Christian who wants to think more clearly about marriage should read Mark D. Jordan." (Publishers Weekly) "Documenting his case colorfully from both popular media and scholarly sources, Mark D. Jordan asks: if all that marriage entails is following the etiquette advice from a professional weding planner, what is the point? Jordan digs deep as he examines the historical and theological origins of Christian marriage." (Christian Century)"
