A Theology of the Family (Brown and Pollard, eds.)
Description
We need strong families, rooted in Scripture, that are built to flourish. This book gives the tools for the task. Spanning 500 years of biblical teaching, it gathers sound wisdom and practical truths from 56 different authors on how to cultivate a thriving Christian family.
Though this book is thick, don’t be deceived—it’s packed with hundreds of short, powerful articles that can be read in just minutes.
From Luther to Bunyan, from Spurgeon to Sproul, it brings forth rich gems on fatherhood and motherhood, marriage, childbearing, bringing up children, abortion, modest apparel, advice to young people, and much more.

- Smyth-Sewn binding

“A Theology of the Family is a treasure trove of biblical wisdom, drawing from five centuries of godly insight to strengthen and guide Christian families... Whether as a devotional resource or a legacy to pass down through generations, this volume is an essential addition to any Christian home.”
—Ray Comfort, founder of Living Waters and co-host of Way of the Master
“I regard it as a ‘top-ten book’ in a family library. It was God Himself who invented the family. In paradise, He established the family as a beautiful institution for the flourishing of husbands, wives, children, churches, and nations... May God use this book to raise up holy and heavenly families after His own heart!”
—Dr. Joel R. Beeke, Chancellor and Professor of Systematic Theology and Homiletics at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, and pastor of Heritage Reformed Congregation in Grand Rapids, Michigan
