Description
To what kinds of lives does God call us as members of families--and as citizens of a secular, pluralistic republic? In this important book, Paula Cooey takes a hard look at the American family in the late twentieth century. In particular, she deals with the notion of family values. She asks importance questions: What and who are we valuing when we talk about family values? What constitutes a family? What do Christians owe their families and the families of others according to Scripture and church teaching? Does Scripture provide us with a blueprint for the ideal family? What are the implications for how we think about family in how we think about the differences between males and females? What role should family values play in shaping political vision? - from Amzon
