Christian Family, The
Outline: A century ago when this book was first published, marriage and the family were already weathering enormous changes, and that trend has not abated. Yet by God's power the unchanging essence of marriage and the family remains proof, as the author notes, that God's "purpose with the human race has not yet been achieved." Neither a ten-step guide nor a one-sided approach, this book embodies a Christian theology of marriage and the family. Accessible, thoroughly biblical, and asthonishingly relevant, it offers a mature and concise handling of the origins of marriage and family life and the effects of sin on these insitutions, an appraisal of historic Christian approaches, and an attempt to apply that theology. Aptly reminding Christians that "the moral health of society depends on the health of family life," the author issues an evergreen challenge to God's people: "Christians may not permit their conduct to be determined by the spirit of the age, but most focus on the requirement of God's commandment."
