Toward a Biblical Theology of Marriage and Family Part One: Pentateuch and Historical Books

This first installment in a series of four studies on family theology represents only a scant outline form of what the author has assembled from the early books of the Old Testament constituting what Bible scholars call the Pentateuch and Historical Books. Multiple biblical references are representative of the wealth of family Scripture found throughout the Bible. Both writer and reader must be careful not to read into the revelation which appears in early Old Testament History and Law our advantageous understanding of the New Testament. Future installments will treat poetical books and prophets, Gospels and Acts, Pauline Epistles, and general Epistles and Revelation.
