CPS 552 Marriage and Family Issues
This course is designed to explore marriage & family issues from both a biblical perspective and an ever-evolving cultural and societal perspective. Concepts that challenge the very integrity and foundation of marriage and family such as the redefinition of marriage, same-sex partnerships, divorce, single parenting, etc. will be of primary focus. The student’s learning experience will involve readings, lectures, media, case materials, and classroom participation. Students will become familiar with journals that focus on marital and family issues as well as biblical responsiveness and therapeutic insight. 3 credits.
