Opis

There is less interest in marriage in society today than in years past, in an era marked by technology, gender equality, and secularization. In this book, Mark Regnerus explores how today's Christians find a mate within a faith that esteems marriage but a world that increasingly yawns at it, and argues that the future of marriage will be a religious one.

Recenzje

Marriage is the molecular building block of society. Christians believe it unlocks not only the pathway to human flourishing and social stability but is a foreshadowing of the gospel itself. However, Christians are not immune to the broader cultural trends impacting the formation of marriage and family. In The Future of Christian Marriage, Mark Regnerus offers a keen analysis of what those trends are and how they impede marriage. Pastors and church leaders should read this book to better understand the trends impacting their community and congregations.
