Loveology: God. Love. Marriage. Sex. And the Never-Ending Story of Male and Female. Description
In the beginning, God created Adam. Then he made Eve. And ever since we've been picking up the pieces. Loveology is just that---a theology of love. With an autobiographical thread that turns a book into a story, pastor and speaker John Mark Comer shares about what is right in male/female relationships---what God intended in the Garden. And about what is wrong---the fallout in a post-Eden world. Loveology starts with marriage and works backward. Comer deals with sexuality, romance, singleness, and what it means to be male and female; ending with a raw, uncut, anything goes Q and A dealing with the most asked questions about sexuality and relationships. This is a book for singles, engaged couples, and the newly married---both inside and outside the church---who want to learn what the Scriptures have to say about sexuality and relationships. For those who are tired of Hollywood's propaganda, and the church's silence. And for people who want to ask the why questions and get intelligent, nuanced, grace-and-truth answers, rooted in the Scriptures.

Just in time for Valentine's Day another book about love: Loveology: God. Love. Marriage. Sex. And the never-ending story of male and female by Portland (Oregon) pastor John Mark Comer. It's a theology of love that addresses the gamut. It begins with the creation of the first couple. It talks about four purposes of marriage. It explains why sex is tov (good) at least if it follows the Song of Solomon pattern. It explores romance, the obstacle course of dating, the differences between male and female, how to enjoy the state of singleness, and the biblical attitude toward homosexuality. The book ends with a hefty Q&A section of real-life questions encountered when the author presented the book's content as an event.
Comer's writing style is savvy and casual with enough vernacular to give the sense that he knows the demographic he's addressing. As a work of theology it's easy to read. Comer has the instincts of a good teacher and presents his ideas logically and in an order that makes sense. His use of Hebrew and Greek word studies along with illustrations from the lives of Bible characters helps him get to the nub of what the Bible teaches
I like the way he examines 21st century ideas and assumptions about love, courtship and marriage, contrasting how the culture of Bible times differed from ours. He goes into the history of some of our customs showing how practices like dating and choosing one's own marriage partner are recent and relatively unproven (not that he's advocating arranged marriages).
