The release of the landmark first edition of God, Marriage, and Family provided an integrated, biblical treatment of God's purposes for the home. Since then, explain authors Andreas Köstenberger and David Jones, the crisis confronting modern households has only intensified, and yet the solution remains the same: obedience to and application of God's Word.

In the second edition of God, Marriage, and Family, Köstenberger and Jones explore the latest controversies, cultural shifts, and teachings within both the church and society and further apply Scripture's timeless principles to contemporary issues. This new edition includes an assessment of the family-integrated church movement; discussion of recent debates on corporal punishment, singleness, homosexuality, and divorce and remarriage; new sections on the theology of sex and the parenting of teens; and updated bibliographies. This book will prove to be a valuable resource for personal and group study, Christian counseling, and marriage and family courses.

The recent rulings on gay marriage and debates on family-related issues have placed marriage and family at the forefront of the public eye. More so than at any point in history, we are now confronted with the need to carefully define the meaning of marriage and family.

Professor Andreas Köstenberger and ethics expert David W. Jones speak to the issues at hand and guide us through the fray. Presenting a Christian theology of marriage and parenting, they offer insight on issues such as:

• abortion
• contraception
• infertility
• adoption
• homosexuality
• divorce

Marriage and Family: Biblical Essentials points the way to the spiritual solution to our culture’s confusion: a return to, and rebuilding of, the biblical foundation of marriage and the family.

Los autores, David Jones y Russell Woodbridge, creen que el evangelio de la prosperidad se construye sobre una teología defectuosa. En este libro examinan las cinco áreas principales de error relacionadas con su enseñanza sobre las riquezas. De forma justa, pero firme, los autores hablan de la historia y la teología del movimiento del evangelio de la prosperidad, y revelan sus enseñanzas centrales erróneas bíblicamente que han sido histórica y popularmente mal interpretadas, incluso por reconocidos pastores de hoy como T. D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, y Kenneth Copeland. Después de una introducción y evaluación del movimiento, se proporciona a los lectores un estudio de las Escrituras para entender lo que la Biblia dice acerca de las riquezas, la pobreza, el sufrimiento, y las ofrendas.

What happens when the promise of prosperity overshadows the promise of the real gospel-the gospel of Christ?

Believing that the prosperity gospel is constructed upon faulty theology, authors David Jones and Russell Woodbridge take a closer look at five crucial areas of error relating to the teaching of wealth. In a fair but firm tone, the authors discuss the history and theology of the prosperity gospel movement to reveal its fraudulent core biblical teachings that have been historically and popularly misinterpreted, even by today's most well-known pastors, including T. D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, and Kenneth Copeland. After an introduction and assessment of the movement, readers are invited to take a look at Scripture to understand what the Bible really says about wealth, poverty, suffering, and giving.
