“Pastor Chris Marley has written a very edifying work. Combining pastoral wisdom, insight into biblical texts, and a robust Reformed theology, Marley takes readers through Scripture using the lens of Christ as Husband and His people as Bride. Along the way, he constantly holds up the glory of Christ, our redeemer, and also calls us winsomely to live lives worthy of those wedded to Christ, whether we’re husbands, wives, children, or unmarried. Readers will be challenged and blessed.”

“Pastor Chris Marley’s book, Scarlet and White, delves into the mystery of Christ’s relationship with His church. The author is deeply steeped in a strong theological background, and because of his unwavering fidelity to Scripture, he has a clear understanding of both the subject at hand as well as other related biblical texts. This topic has been avoided by most theologians who fear merely romanticizing it. However, one might see the prime importance of this relationship by its pervasiveness both in the Old and New Testaments, often times under the cover of metaphors, similes, and allegories. Therefore, a firm understanding of this relationship proves invaluable for one’s Christian walk, as well as one’s marriage. Once you have started reading this book, you won’t want to put it down.”

“I want this book! Chris is a really good writer who grips your attention, fascinates your mind, warms your heart, and challenges your soul. I hadn’t realized that my Bible was so teeming with breathtaking romance. There are mountains of pastoral material here for wedding ceremonies, marriage counseling, romance enriching, church polity, membership motivation, ministerial inspiration, etc. Best of all, it will make you fall in love with the Savior. I see myself getting it,underlining all over it, and constantly referring to it.”

He combines exegetical faithfulness, salvation history, and biblical metaphors to give us an exquisite depiction of ‘the Bridegroom and His Bride.’ As one who has known Chris for many years, I can assure prospective readers that his life radiates Christian joy and the truth of the gospel, which echoes a strong ‘amen!’ to his message.”
