Synopsis
Now in its second edition, this multidisciplinary text addresses the growing scholarly connection between religion and family life while offering an accurate and engaging account of why and how families are impacted by their religion.This updated volume integrates the social science literature from family studies, psychology, sociology, and religion with narratives drawn from in-depth interviews with 300 racially, religiously, and regionally diverse families that bring the concepts to life. Written in a thought-provoking, accessible style by two of the leading researchers in the field, this book reflects the author’s first-hand experience in teaching today’s students about religion’s influence on families. This book examines Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, addresses the impact of religious involvement on longevity, divorce rates, and parenting styles, and considers demographic, family, couple, and individual-level data that relate to prayer and other sacred practices. New chapters explore: The Conflicts, Struggle, and Stressors of Religion Racial and Ethnic Minorities and Religion Religion, Sex, and Gender Roles in Marriage Pedagogical features include boldfaced key terms defined in the glossary, text boxes, chapter conclusions, summary points, and review questions.
