Marriage and Family


The People’s Bible Teachings is a series of books on all of the main doctrinal teachings of the Bible. Following the pattern set by The People’s Bible series, these books are written especially for laypeople. The authors of The People’s Bible Teachings are parish pastors and professors who have had years of experience teaching the Bible.

This book presents Scripture’s teaching on marriage as God intended it to be, from creation through our modern day. It touches on many current doctrinal and cultural topics: the single state, engagement, roles of husbands and wives, sex, children, family planning, divorce, remarriage, homosexuality, polygamy, common-law marriage, blended family issues, and more. The book can be especially valuable as a resource for pre-marriage classes and for marriage enrichment seminars.
