Marriage, Sex and Family in Judaism explores Jewish marriage from historical and contemporary perspectives, focusing on the religious and legal concepts of marriage, and the social impact of family in the Jewish community. The book does not advocate one perspective or another; instead, the essays range from conservative to liberal viewpoints, offering readers a well-balanced mixture of perspectives on Jewish marriage.
This collection of essays explores Jewish marriage from legal, historical, and social perspectives. Biblical models, the influence of gender, the rabbinic tradition, and contemporary issues are all reflected in this well-organized volume…the issues are covered in a serious, straightforward, fluid manner.
