Abstract:
This research report consists of two articles. The first part is titled:
Biblical models of marriage: A critical perspective. In the first article
the book of Adrian Thatcher (1999) Marriage after modernity:
Christian marriage in postmodern times, is discussed in conjunction
with other relevant studies. His hermeneutical approach identifies
five Biblical models of marriage. An overview and discussion of
these models lead to the question of whether these models could
assist in understanding the essence of marriage in postmodern
times. Based on the research of recent studies, this second article is
an attempt to modify and implement his models as a possible
framework and guidelines to address the complexity of marriage in
our context.
