Kresta in the Afternoon – December 28, 2023 – Hour 1

As we continue our Countdown, Andre Villeneuve looks at the Biblical meaning of covenants and marriage.

 

#8 The Mystery of Divine Love – Made Personal

Scripture portrays the covenant between God and his people as a divine-human marriage spanning through all of human history. In the eyes of Jewish scholars, God married humanity in the Garden of Eden, and that union was broken by sin and restored throughout the Old Testament. We explore this union of Divine Love further with Andre Villeneuve.

Dr. Andre Villenuevé is an Associate Professor of Old Testament and Biblical Languages at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. He received his Ph.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2013, writing his dissertation on the topic of nuptial symbolism in the New Testament and in ancient Jewish writings.
