Patriarchal Parenting in Marriage: Exploring Typological Purpose and Virtues

In modern times, it appears that the traditional patriarchal family structure is facing challenges from various directions. On one side, there are people who want to dismantle its long-standing values. These values have been beneficial to society since the beginning of time. On the other side, there are those who are using patriarchal language to justify the mistreatment and exploitation of women. Neither of these approaches accurately reflects the true meaning of a patriarchal family according to the Bible.

This book takes a scholarly approach to the topic of patriarchy by analyzing key passages from Ephesians chapters 5 & 6 to explore the essence of patriarchy and its deeper significance. Through examining scriptural references and historical perspectives from the church, the book uncovers timeless principles that are relevant not only to men, but also to women and children. Ultimately, the objective of this book is to encourage readers to shift their focus from self-serving objectives in their families to seeking ways to glorify God through their family unit.
