No idea shaped modern convictions about the moral structure of
love, family life, and the role of the household in civil society
more than the biblical idea of covenant. Yet these patterns are
challenged today by socio-economic developments that alter the role
of the family in civil society.
Ethicist Max Stackhouse offers a fresh vision of how the family
may best reconstitute the household. He challenges libertarian and
liberationist arguments based on economic ideologies and
sociobiological theories that distort the nature and character of
love, sexuality, and commitment. Recognizing the inadequacy of
current "family values" rhetoric, he seeks to recover a covenantal
ethic for the family that accounts for new male-female,
parent-child, production-consumption, and household-workplace
relationships.
