Synopsis
The family as a cornerstone of society, from ancient roots to Christian restoration, and its lasting influence today.
This edition examines the family in three phases: its state in pagan times, the dramatic changes brought by Jesus Christ, and the enduring Christian framework that continues to shape families and civil life. It shows how marriage, women’s roles, and children were transformed by faith, law, and culture, and why those shifts matter for modern readers.
- Learn how ancient Roman practices affected family life and legal rights for women and children.
- See how Christian teaching redefined marriage, dignity for women, and the education of the young.
- Discover the arguments for why indissolubility and sanctity in marriage were defended through history.
- Understand what a society rooted in Christian principles aimed to protect and nurture within the home.
