"This book will change you. It is an invitation to the Messiah's
wedding feast--and a foretaste of heaven. It will change the way
you experience the sacraments, personal prayer, Scripture study,
and marriage. Most of all, it will deepen your love for Christ."
-Scott Hahn, author of The Lamb's Supper and Signs of Life.
"Brant Pitre has a wonderful gift for blending insight,
scholarship, and an elegant, appealing style. The result is an
extraordinary encounter with Jesus Christ, the meaning of his
mission, and the spousal nature of God's love for humanity and
Christ's love for the Church." -Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Capp.,
Archbishop of Philadelphia
"Brant Pitre helps us to know Jesus not just as a Savior and lord,
but as our divine bridegroom. This excellent book show how the
theme of Christ the bridegroom is at the very heart of salvation
history and how it can transform the way we view baptism, the
Eucharist, marriage, and our own relationship with Christ. The
profound Biblical insights and clear, engaging writing style will
take you deeper into the divine love story found in Sacred
Scripture." -Edward Sri, author of Walking with Mary
“With his customary combination of deep erudition and clarity of
expression, Brant Pitre sheds light on a central theme of the New
Testament: Jesus as the incarnation of the God who wants to
marry his people. In the course of elaborating this motif,
Pitre offers wonderfully fresh readings of the Wedding Feast of
Cana, the Woman at the Well, the Last Supper, and the
Crucifixion. His interpretation of the Passion as the
consummation of the spousal relationship between Jesus and his
people is simply stunning. This is a book that will appeal to
both the scholar and the ordinary believer, indeed to anyone
interested in understanding Jesus Christ more profoundly.” -Father
Robert Barron, founder of Word on Fire and author of
Catholicism
