N2  - Summary; Dr Ortlund shows how the Genesis vision of human marriage provides the network of meanings for the story of Israel's relationship with Yahweh. He traces the theme of marital unfaithfulness. In the New Testament, he shows how the story of Israel's harlotry is transcended by the vision of Christ and his church, the Bridegroom and the Bride.
