Shedding a new light on perennial questions, Elizabeth Achtemeier examines the contemporary state of marriage and family life from a biblical perspective. With candor, clarity, and passion, the author provides insight into many sources of conflict within a marriage–from discipline of children to women’s liberation. Viewing Christian marriage as a form of discipleship, she finds in it the key to freedom, order, and fulfillment.
Elizabeth Achtemeier taught Bible and Homiletics at Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, Virginia. She was an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A), a preacher, and the author of a number of books, including Nature, God, and the Pulpit and Preaching from the Minor Prophets.
