Happy Thanksgiving

HOLIDAY GREETINGS

The Acton Institute was founded over 30 years ago with the mission to educate society on the interdependence of faith and economics—objective morality and free markets—since both are necessary for human flourishing. Our work is centered on planting the seeds of Lord Acton’s vision of a “society that is beyond the state” and cultivating “the individual souls that are above it.” We work to accomplish this through the highest quality programs and conferences. But none of this would be possible without you, financially or otherwise.

From all of us here at Acton, to all of you, may your Thanksgiving bring good food that fills your tables, good health as you continue to live up to your full potential as given to you by God, and good times with family and friends. May you have all of the best delights in life. Happy Thanksgiving!

We are Grateful for you

A century ago when this book was first published, marriage and the family were already weathering enormous changes, and that trend has not abated. Yet by God’s power the unchanging essence of marriage and the family remains proof, as Bavinck notes, that God’s “purpose with the human race has not yet been achieved.”

Neither a ten-step guide nor a one-sided approach, this book embodies a Christian theology of marriage and the family. Accessible, thoroughly biblical, and astonishingly relevant, it offers a mature and concise handling of the origins of marriage and family life and the effects of sin on these institutions, an appraisal of historic Christian approaches, and an attempt to apply that theology.

Aptly reminding Christians that “the moral health of society depends on the health of family life,” Bavinck issues an evergreen challenge to God’s people: “Christians may not permit their conduct to be determined by the spirit of the age, but must focus on the requirement of God’s commandment.”
