Family and Conjugality – Multidisciplinary Christian Perspectives
Edited by Nicole Deheuvels and Christophe Paya
Family, couplehood, and singleness occupy a central place in human life and raise numerous questions in our society. This collective work offers an in-depth Christian reflection on these realities, taking into account contemporary developments and challenges.
After establishing the biblical and theological foundations of the family, this dictionary draws on specialists from several fields: marital and family counseling, law, history, sociology, psychology, sexology, ethics, and pastoral care. More than 50 articles address such topics as the history of the family, the challenges of couplehood, families in distress, and the role of the Church.
A rich and multidisciplinary reference work, which enables a better understanding of current family issues in light of the Christian faith and opens up avenues for reflection and action in the support of individuals and families.
