God, Marriage, and Family, Second Edition

Rebuilding the Biblical Foundation. Second Edition.
This
updated edition of Köstenberger and Jones's acclaimed work tackles the latest
challenges to God's plan for the home and urges a return to a biblical
foundation.
The release of the landmark first edition of God,
Marriage, and Family provided an integrated, biblical treatment of God's
purposes for the home. Since then, explain authors Andreas Köstenberger and
David Jones, the crisis confronting modern households has only intensified, and
yet the solution remains the same: obedience to and application of God's
Word.
In the second edition of God, Marriage, and Family,
Köstenberger and Jones explore the latest controversies, cultural shifts, and
teachings within both the church and society and further apply Scripture's
timeless principles to contemporary issues. This new edition includes an
assessment of the family-integrated church movement; discussion of recent
debates on corporal punishment, singleness, homosexuality, and divorce and
remarriage; new sections on the theology of sex and the parenting of teens; and
updated bibliographies. This book will prove to be a valuable resource for
personal and group study, Christian counseling, and marriage and family
courses.
'I love this book. It is the best on the subject, and at
Mars Hill we have hundreds of couples read it each year as their premarital
text. The men in Acts 29 also use it in their churches. God, Marriage, and
Family is amazing, comprehensive, biblical, helpful, insightful, and
without peer on the matters to which it speaks. I have read this book multiple
times and am astounded at how much is packed in. I have also read the footnotes
multiple times, and they alone are worth twice the price of the book. I am
thrilled that God, Marriage, and Family is now updated and expanded
and available in a second edition and am happy to endorse this amazing work and
highly commend it to you. Read it, and give it to others, and you and they will
be richly blessed.' - Mark Driscoll
'The special value of this
book lies in its pervasive exposition of Scripture. We are adrift in a sea of
speculation without this. I am thankful for the book. I plan to give it to my
grown children.' - John Piper
'Anything Kostenberger publishes
is worthy of attention. His international education and experience, his
teaching career, and his Christian character make him an author to be read with
both care and anticipation. You may not agree with all his conclusions, but
youÉll be better equipped for living and teaching about God, marriage, and
Family. Sensible, balanced, and biblical, this is a sound and timely summary of
the BibleÉs teaching on some of the most basic and yet controversial topics in
todayÉs world. I highly recommend it.' - Mark Dever
