__NOTOC__ Within the Judeo-Christian tradition, bridal theology, also referred to as mystical marriage, is the New Testament portrayal of communion with Jesus as a marriage, and God's reign as a wedding banquet. This tradition in turn traces back to the Old Testament. This theology has influenced the works of Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Ávila, Gregory the Great and Bernard of Clairvaux.〔 A similar concept existed in Valentinian Gnosticism with the notion of the bridal chamber, which involved a marriage to one's heavenly counterpart.〔http://www.gnosis.org/library/valentinus/Valentinian_Sacramental.htm〕 〔 () Philip L. Tite, ''Valentinian Ethics and Paraenetic Discourse''〕 Some mystics take this 'marriage' as a symbol of Union with God and hence, no negative connotations are sharpened for orthodox thinkers. ==See also== * Bride of Christ * Mystic marriage of Saint Catherine * Spirit spouse (in dreams) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「bridal theology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
