Ephesians On The Sacrament Of Creation

In chapters 1 and 2 the writer has analyzed the teachings of John Paul II, on the couple as the sacrament of creation, including the theological teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas on the sacrament of creation. This chapter continues the discussion on the sacrament of creation focusing precisely on St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians on the relation of the couple to Christ and the Church. Perry says that “in the earliest days of the Church, Christian marriage was seen as something holy, intimately related to Christ’s love for the Church as expressed in the letter to the Ephesians.”
