Probably no subject generates more emotion today than the definition of marriage. We are even asked to vote on it and choose candidates by their position on it. But there are also few subjects which most people know so little. This book provides the information people need to form their opinion. Drawing on a careful survey of the Biblical background and (primarily) Christian history, the book outlines some of the ways in which Christians might begin to reshape their way of doing marriage in a way that makes better sense for our future.
