I have read many places mentioning the fact that the puritans regarded wedding rings as "badges of popery" and the like. I have only read one argument in favor of this (aside from the verses in scripture that address modest apparel). The arguement is that the wedding ring is made to be a sign of the coveanant of marraige that is not warranted in scripture, and therefore sinful.
Does anyone know of any resources on this subject?
What puritans taught this and where?
What are your opinions?
