- Summary:
- What is the status of the American family? How is it changing? Are these changes making anything better? What is the future of the family? Does religion offer a positive answer?

Using in-depth case studies and national surveys, and now with an updated Preface and a new Appendix, this groundbreaking book presents arguments for the creation of a new family ethic that should be central to both the agenda of contemporary society and the mission of the church.
