"Unsere moderne Kultur will uns glauben machen, dass es bei der Ehe vor allem darum geht, dass man verliebt ist und dass man 'den Passenden' gefunden hat. Und aus 'bis dass der Tod uns scheidet' ist geworden: 'Solange meine Bedürfnisse befriedigt werden.' Solange wir nicht fähig sind, die Ehe durch die Brille der Bibel zu betrachten und nicht durch die engen Sehschlitze unserer Kultur, werden wir nicht in der Lage sein, fundierte Entscheidungen über unsere eigene eheliche Zukunft zu treffen. Das Schmerzlichste und das Wunderbarste - so sieht die Bibel die Ehe, und noch nie ist es wichtiger gewesen als in unserer heutigen Kultur, die Ehe hochzuhalten und für sie zu werben.
Zusammen mit seiner Frau Kathy erklärt Timothy Keller, was Gott sich dabei gedacht hat, als er die Ehe erfand - erfrischend ehrlich und unsentimental, aber begeistert von Gottes wunderbarem Plan. Gemeinsam finden die beiden in der Bibel den Sinn der Ehe, holen Gott als dritten Partner ins Boot und machen deutlich, worauf es bei der Ehe und der Partnerwahl wirklich ankommt."
"At one point in her life, author and co-founder of Redeemer Presbyterian Church Kathy Keller sought pastoral ordination. Yet she came to adopt the view that men and women have different roles in marriage and ministry, and that fulfilling such roles pleases God and leads to greater personal fulfillment.
In this unapologetic but nuanced piece, Keller presents a caring and careful case for biblical gender differences and the complementarian view of women in ministry. At the same time, she encourages women to teach and lead in the church in ways that may startle some complementarians. People on both sides of this hot-button topic will be challenged by her ministry-tested and thoroughly Scriptural perspective."
"Timothy and Kathy Keller will show you a portrait of marriage as it's meant to be according to the Bible...by first throwing out most of what we've been taught about love.
Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul mate; that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that marriage does not mean 'til death do us part, but merely for as long as my needs are being met; and that when serious differences arise, divorce is the best solution. But all of these modern-day assumptions miss what marriage is really about.
In this audio Bible study, Timothy Keller, along with Kathy, his wife of forty years, draws a profound portrait of marriage from the pages of Scripture that neither idealizes nor rejects the institution but points us back to the relationship between God and man. The result is a vision for marriage that is refreshingly frank and unsentimental, yet hopeful and beautiful.
This study is for anyone from singles to couples considering marriage to those who have been married for any length of time.
