Family life since World War II has undergone dramatic changes.
Cultural shifts emphasizing personal needs and fulfillment have
transformed traditional understandings of marriage and divorce,
gender equality, and sexual behavior, resulting in a marked
increase in single-parent homes, dual-income couples, and divorced
and blended families. In this book, contributors who represent
diverse religious traditions in North America show how their
respective traditions have responded to changes in the family in
the last half century. Exploring the broad range of responses in
their traditions - from conservative to progressive - they reflect
on the roles that theology, scripture, and the social sciences have
had in this transformation. Further, they take a realistic look at
the influence of mainstream religion and its role in future
discussions of family life. This exploration offers readers fresh
and broad ranges of ways to evaluate their own religious traditions
when dealing with issues related to the future of the family.
Religious traditions discussed are Southern Baptist, Mormon,
Mennonite, Roman Catholic, African Methodist Episcopal, Methodist,
Jewish, Presbyterian, United Church of Canada, Episcopal, and
ecumenical and interdenominational.
