description: Family values were different in biblical times. Wives were property, divorce was for men only, and Jesus told his disciples to abandon their families and follow him. In light of the vast differences of time and custom, can the Bible help us shore up today's floundering family structure? In this lively book, Bristow takes a hard look at marriage, divorce, sexuality, and the role of women in the historical and cultural context of the Bible. What he reveals is surprising, enlightening, and sometimes a bit disturbing. Each chapter ends with a list of questions for discussion and reflection.
