, 1973

Overview

We're living in a time when the institute of marriage is being queried, the generation-gap emphasized, parental control flouted and derided, and industrial strife rampant. These matters are of contemporary concern, but by no means are exclusive to our era. As Lloyd-Jones shows in this volume, Ephesians long ago conveyed the practical knowledge Christians require to face these tough issues.
