An Introduction

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first multidisciplinary text to address the connection between religion and family life. The latest literature is reviewed along with narratives drawn from interviews with 200 diverse families which bring the concepts to life. Written by two of the leading researchers in the field, prior to writing the book, the authors read the sacred texts of many faiths, interviewed religious leaders, and attended religious services for a wide array of faiths. The result is an engaging account of why and how families are impacted by their religion. The book examines both traditional and non-traditional families from a score of denominations within Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
