God, Marriage, and Family

"In breadth of coverage, thoroughness of learning, clarity of analysis and argument, and I think, soundness of judgment, this solid, lucid, pastorally angled treatise has no peer.  Evangelicals who research, debate, teach, and counsel on gender, sex, marriage, and family will find it an endlessly useful resouce.  The easy mastery with which the author threads his way through forty years' special pleading gives this compendium landmark significance, and I recommend it highly." -- J. I. Packer

"The special value of this book lies in its pervasive exposition of Scripture.  We are adrift in a sea of speculation without this." -- John Piper

This second edition introduces new sections on the theology of sex and the parenting of teens and a new chapter on marriage, family, and the church, including an evaluation of the "family-integrated church movement."  The authors have added summaries of recent debates on corporal punishment, singleness, homosexuality, and divorce and remarriage, and responses to several recent articles and monographs on marriage and the family.  The second edition also includes updated bibliographies and notes.
