Publisher Description
In the beginning, God created Adam. Then he made Eve.
And ever since we’ve been picking up the pieces.
Loveology is a theology of love from God’s point of view.
The five sessions start with God’s design for marriage and works backward, dealing with sexuality, romance, singleness, and what it means to be male and female. Pastor and writer John Mark Comer shares about what is right in male/female relationships—what God intended in the Garden. And about what is wrong—the fallout in a post-Eden world.
The Loveology video-based Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately) is for anyone who wants to learn what the Scriptures have to say about sexuality and relationships and for people who want to ask the why questions and get intelligent, grace-and-truth answers.
As you walk through this five-week study, you will come to better understand what God fully intended back in the garden. By comprehending the brilliance behind God’s original plan for love and marriage and sex and romance—if we can redefine that fuzzy, amorphous, confusing word “love” and look at it through the lens of Jesus—your marriages and relationships will be radically altered as a result.
This study guide contains video notes, individual or group reflection questions, and between session personal applications to enhance your journey through the video study.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Portland, Ore., pastor Comer (My Name Is Hope) takes a historical and biblical view of male-female relationships, drawing from stories such as Adam and Eve and Isaac and Rebekah. He refers to Hebrew words for three types of love: friendship, erotic, and unconditional. He also addresses gender wars: "Marriage is a place where Jesus' healing power is at work to set people free from thousands of years of fighting between the sexes and from all the wounding we carry from the war." His writing is informal and infectious, growing on the reader as the topics get more intimate. Before it became a book, Comer's content was presented in a seminar with 2,000 young adults in a warehouse in Portland. So it includes a no-holds barred q&a transcribed from that seminar about masturbation, sex, marriage, and same-sex attractions. Gay or straight, he writes, "to God, your sexuality does not define you. Rather, God defines you. The Scriptures open by saying you are made in God's image. Because of that you have intrinsic value, worth, and dignity."
