Perdue; 2 N2 - "An important ongoing debate focuses on the present health and well-being of families in American society. Much of the debate, however, is either ill-informed or consists of rhetoric that attempts to further particular political and social causes. The Family, Religion, and Culture series offers informed and responsible analyses of the state of the American family from a religious perspective and provides practical assistance for the family's revitalization."--Jacket ER -
