A theology of the family

Order this book

In an era marked by profound cultural, moral, and social changes, this book offers a clear, biblical, and much-needed voice on the subject of family. Written by Jeff Pollard and Scott T. Brown, A Theology of the Family presents a vision that has been ignored or even rejected by many in the modern church: the family is not merely a social institution, but a divine design established by God from the very beginning of creation.

The author explores how the family is a fundamental part of God’s redemptive purpose, showing that it is not simply a traditional structure that can be reshaped to fit the preferences of each generation, but a spiritual reality ordained by God to reflect His character, promote holiness, and pass the faith from one generation to the next.

From the union of Adam and Eve to Paul’s teaching on the roles of parents and children in Ephesians 6, this book helps the reader:

• Recognize the importance of the family according to God’s original plan.
• Understand why marriage between a man and a woman is the foundation of family life.
• Restore biblical roles such as the father’s responsible leadership, the mother’s dignity and support, and the godly upbringing of children.
• Resist cultural influences that seek to distort or replace God’s model for the family.

Rooted in Scripture and written with pastoral insight, this work invites readers to recover the biblical vision of the family as a privileged space for worship, spiritual formation, and Christian witness in the world.

Ideal for both personal study and group discussion, A Theology of the Family not only challenges the reader to rethink their view of the home, but also offers hope, guidance, and encouragement for restoring the family as a powerful tool in God’s hands.

May the Holy Spirit use these pages to awaken in many hearts a genuine hunger to live according to God’s design for the family, so that through consecrated homes, the name of the Lord may be glorified.
