Critics Review
“This book is exceptionally readable and thought-provoking. His discussion of the goods and ends of marriage alone are invaluable in today’s climate of redefining marriage, which for the Catholic Church has a distinct sanctity and sacramentality. Strongly recommended for university and seminary libraries.”–Darren G. Poley, Catholic Library World
“Monsignor Cormac Burke’s riveting book, The Theology of Marriage: Personalism, Doctrine, and Canon Law, is a must-read for couples in Pre-Cana, marriage counselors, and anyone involved in pastoral ministry who wants a fuller understanding of the sacrament… Monsignor Burke has written an exceptional book that will influence many across the board… I have already started to recommend this book to many of my colleagues as a great informer… couples who wish to better understand their faith should consider this book an indispensible companion to their Catechism.”–Harrison Denn, National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly
“Coming from a canon lawyer working at a high level in the Catholic church, Cormac Burke’s book is in many ways a refreshing argument for a recognition of the personalism which underpins much of Catholic teaching.”–Ray Temmerman, Winnipeg, Marriage, Families, and Spirituality
