Tackles the Latest Debates and Cultural Challenges Regarding God’s Plan for the Home 

We live in a time of crisis regarding marriage and the family, and only by a return to the biblical foundation can these institutions be rebuilt. To provide an integrated, biblical treatment of the full range of marriage and family issues, Andreas and Marny Köstenberger examine what Scripture says about God’s purposes for humans in their marriage and family interactions. 

The third edition of God, Marriage, and Family explores the latest controversies, cultural shifts, and teachings within both the church and society, while applying Scripture’s timeless principles to contemporary issues. This edition includes a foreword by Carl Trueman and offers further discussion on recent debates, including gender role confusion, transgenderism, abortion, and same-sex marriage. It serves as a valuable resource for personal and group study, Christian counseling, and marriage and family courses. 

• Comprehensive Scope: Covers many topics related to marriage and the family, including parenting, singleness, homosexuality, divorce and remarriage, and the family-church relationship
• Biblical Focus: Provides a thorough survey of the entire biblical teaching on every subject it addresses
• Valuable Study Resource: Ideal for personal and group study or as a textbook for Christian marriage and family courses
