The Sacramental Theology of Marriage offers a comprehensive vision of the dogmatic theology of marriage. It takes into account biblical and patristic sources, the teaching of the Magisterium (with particular emphasis on the Councils of Trent and Vatican II), and the most important contemporary theological contributions. It begins with a vision of the sacrament of marriage as the sacrament that integrates the order of creation into the order of sacraments. This dual dimension of marriage justifies the division of the book into two parts: marriage as a sacrament of creation and marriage as a sacrament of redemption instituted by Christ. To describe the coordinates of marriage in creation, the book refers to St. Augustine (the goods of marriage), St. Thomas Aquinas (the ends of marriage), and modern personalism as reflected in the Second Vatican Council (the gifts of marriage). The book also draws on the theology of St. Bonaventure, who emphasized the institution of marriage by God in creation. The presentation of marriage as a sacrament of the new law is rooted in the way Christ lived the various meanings of the body. Marriage's foundation in the body and in the experience of love sheds new light on the key milestones of its sacramentality: its matter and form, its signification, the grace it transmits, its liturgy and ministers, its indissolubility, its role in building up the Church, and the path of holiness it opens to the spouses. In all of this, marriage emerges as a pivotal sacrament for articulating Christianity's relationship to the cosmos and to society. The Sacramental Theology of Marriage includes modern philosophical and theological explorations of the language of the body and the meaning of love (including the proposal of St. John Paul II). It also outlines the main principles for the pastoral care of marriage and family.

José Granados is the author of Introduction to Sacramental Theology: Signs of Christ in the Flesh.
