Reseña del editor:

This work is a collection of essays which reveal how practical theology can act as a practical research programme. It uses the example of the family to illustrate how this works and argues that equality in the family can be based on Christian ideas. It promotes the church's ideal model of the mother-father partnership to be balanced with an understanding and acceptance of the pluralism of family forms as a part of modern life.

Contraportada:

In "Equality and the Family" Don Browning has carefully compiled many of his past essays in order to shed light on the path we should take in the future. He contends that practical theology can be envisioned as a practical research program, and he uses the very concrete example of the family to illustrate how this works.

Though much of the secular world believes that equality in the family cannot be based on Christian ideas, Browning insists that it can and should be. Aiming to be pro-family and pro-marriage in ways that create justice and equality within the family, he argues for the churchs ideal model of the mother-father partnership to be balanced with an understanding and acceptance of the pluralism of family forms as a part of modern life, including church life. "Equality and the Family" develops a useful practical theology for those who work with or study the modern family in any capacity and for those who simply belong to one.
