Family life has undergone revolutionary changes in Western society
in the last sixty years, posing both theological and ethical
challenges for the contemporary church. This book responds with
wide-ranging essays on sexuality, marriage, family life,
singleness, same-sex relationships, violence against women,
anthropology, gender and culture. These chapters are essential
reading for anyone concerned with Christian teaching on marriage
and the family. They balance a clear loyalty to the church's
historic and biblical teaching with a recognition that all doctrine
is contextualized. There is a growing gap between the ethics of
many Christians and those of wider society. So Christians have to
be counter-cultural. But the church also has to be self-critical,
differentiating between biblical revelation and cultural
development. And it must know how to present unchanging Christian
convictions to a constantly changing society. The contributors are
Andy Angel, Daniel Block, Rosalind Clarke, Barry Danylak, Andrew
Goddard, Stephen Holmes, David Instone Brewer, A. T. B. McGowan,
Nicholas Moore, Onesimus Ngundu, Oliver O'Donovan, Ian Paul, Andrew
Sloane, Katy Smith, Elaine Storkey and Sarah Whittle.
