Marriage Health and the Professions: If Marriage Is Good for You, What Does This Mean for Law, Medicine, Ministry, Therapy, and Business (Religion, Marriage, and Family Series,)

Book by

Regarded as one of the most significant developers of contemporary Christian pastoral theology, Don Browning (emeritus, Univ. of Chicago Divinity Sch.) and his colleague-editors have assembled 14 essays through which they have constructed a very important study of the way marriage can make people and their communities more healthy. The volume's essays provide a traditional and contemporary understanding of marriage as a good, productive means to human happiness and health; a consideration of how marriage is a good not simply as a private relationship but as a social institution; and an examination of the deeper ethical, religious, and theological premises upon which marriage as a health-promoting institution ought to rest. The book is addressed specifically to students and practitioners of five professions law, medicine, ministry, therapy, and business but it may also be read profitably by anyone with a lively interest in marriage and how its religious nature may serve to benefit human community. Recommended for seminary and academic libraries as well as larger public libraries. David I. Fulton, Coll. of Saint Elizabeth, Morristown, NJ
