A timely unsettling of old "settled" questions surrounding
divorce
Amid the current nationwide debate over what "marriage" is, this
book examines anew the nature and meaning of marriage from the
standpoint of what adult children of divorce have actually
experienced.
Upholding the inextricable link between our personal identity and
our origin in a union of two — and, more deeply, in the Fatherhood
of God — the contributors to this volume reflect on the damage that
divorce does to children, opening up important questions for all of
us: What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to love and to
marry?
After decades of talk about the rights of adults to get a divorce
and the benefits for children of an amicable split between parents
(a so-called "good divorce"), these authors — theologians,
philosophers, political scientists, lawyers, psychologists,
sociologists, and cultural critics — effectively unsettle
conventional opinion.
