"Today American Christians face corrupt governments and corrupt corporations, and both of them are against the biblical family. However, we are not stuck with these alternatives: there have always been third ways. In Third Ways, professor and policy advisor Allan C. Carlson documents different ways that America and other nations created family-centered economies and why they have disappeared in the late-stage capitalist world. Carlson discusses the distributists Chesterton and Belloc, the idea of the family wage, the campaigns of Swedish socialist housewives for the family, and much more in this wide-ranging defense of the traditional family. When Christians think of society and public policy, we think in terms of individual liberty. However, this is the opposite of the Biblical picture. The Bible describes individuals as members of households, fathers as heads, and mothers as nurturers and life-bearers. Thus, we should see the family as central to public policy. Carlson's book is a reminder of that older, better way of seeing the world." |
