Descrizione
Riepilogo:The Christian quest for wisdom in relation to marriage and family is necessarily ongoing, not least in response to significant changes in human patterns of intimacy in modern and postmodern times. This article offers, in a personal way, conclusions I have come to as a biblical scholar about the significance of historical-contextual reasoning for interpreting what the Bible says about marriage and family. My principal constructive suggestion is that responsible appropriation of what the Bible says requires the exercise in community of the evangelical imagination.
