What does the Bible say about the importance of the family? How can
we apply these ancient perspectives to modern Christian life? The
essays gathered in this volume provide reflections from leading
biblical scholars.
The authors focus on reading the Scriptures from the perspective
of the authors in ancient Israelite society and the surrounding
cultures. They find there an overarching sense of the central role
the family played in the larger social structure. However different
our contemporary culture might be, these reflections can form the
basis of an evangelical vision of the family informed by a biblical
worldview.
