Product Description
Thoroughly revised and updated in this third edition, Perspectives on Marriage is a comprehensive and multidisciplinary anthology ideal for courses in the theology and spirituality of marriage. This edition features thirteen new articles and incorporates the best of contemporary perspectives on marriage and sexuality. The selections represent a wide range of approaches, from the historical and canonical to the sociological, psychological, and ministerial. Striking a balance between solid theological material and stimulating readings on today's issues, the volume explores marriage in its historical context; current views on the theology of marriage; the meanings and transitions of marriage; attitudes toward sexuality; communication, conflict, and change; commitment, divorce, and annulment; the spirituality of marriage; and various religious perspectives on marriage. The third edition includes a new section on issues that affect marriage--such as the commercialization of marriage and the financial stresses accompanying marriage--as well as new selections on such topics as same-sex marriage, cohabitation, the theology of dating, and counseling. Each essay is enhanced by a detailed editors' introduction and by helpful discussion questions. Rich, provocative, and challenging, Perspectives on Marriage, Third Edition, is the most extensive and up-to-date reader of its kind.

 Can't I do "no stars" February 19, 2007

This book is just awful. There are such biased misrepresentations of Christians and the Bible that it would be viewed as bigoted if it were aimed at any other group of people. The Bible is misquoted, taken out of context and generally misapplied. Anyone who chooses to use this as a classroom adjunct should first be mandated to study what the Scriptures really has to say!
 A great college text for Christian Marriage. May 19, 1999
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is the fifth semester I have used this text in my Marriage and Family course. Each semester I like it better. Wile difficult for the younger student, Perspectives allows the serious student to stretch his/her thinking on marriage in the Christian framework. This book is a must read by any Marriage and Family teacher at a Catholic college or university, and should be included in every college library.
