Cataloguing the Lord's marital obligations and carnal prohibitions distinguishes the one high road of sexual design from the many low roads of forbidden abuses of masculinity and femininity. With simple profundity, the Scriptures separate the good and the bad out of human sexuality. With the good and the bad concentrated in this brief volume, the one as well as the other may shock. For all who travel the low roads of sexual covetousness, inclusive of every fornicative intimacy, how to explain before the Judge of all the earth illicit management of human sexuality? That, stereotypically, boys will be boys? With appealing forthrightness, the Bridegroom reveals throughout Scriptures the ways of masculinity and femininity. Even in this postmodern world with its maligning of the truth, the truth of marriage started bright and strong in Genesis 2 and concludes brighter and stronger in the Revelation with the marriage of the Christ and the church.
