Questions Couples Ask Book

Scholarly, rational - and readable! Short, too, which is wonderful. If one is not interested in the historical development, it is still worth one's time to read the 3 case studies at the end, about the length of a magazine article, which examine marriage and divorce, charging of interest, and human sexuality.

At the same time, all that the Bible has to say about justice and equity as between individuals and nations is sufficient to enable a Christian social ethic to be articulated in a world in which the charging of interest has led to the most appalling distortions of the relation between rich and poor nations, and between people within those nations."
