Practicing Family in the Kingdom of God

Product Description

A Holistic Vision of Family in God's Kingdom

The Christian world tends to have a blueprint for what families should look like, and these models of the family can be hard to live up to. In some circles, picture-perfect families are idealized and even idolatrized. Many Christians have a gnawing sense that this "traditional family" model is problematic or outdated. But is there an alternative way of understanding family that's neither idolatrous nor revisionist?

Theologian Emily McGowin casts a holistic vision for what family can be in light of God's kingdom. Jesus is our first teacher about families in the kingdom of God, and families rightly understand themselves only in relation to God's kingdom and the church.

In Households of Faith, McGowin

  • recovers biblical portraits of households of faith that are not limited to just the biological nuclear family, that can be multigenerational households of married and single, with or without children,
  • acknowledges the realities of how sin and trauma damages families and communities, and
  • calls Christians to practice family as apprentices to love who discern the times and improvise faithfulness together.
