This is an important new analysis of the social and economic malaise of western society, and the role of the churches in countering it. Governments have sought to improve obvious social problems, but have ignored the voices of Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Hindus alike. The author, thru a series of case studies, shows that the effectiveness of the churches with their grass roots organizations and the moral authority that provides, together with state institutions, can forge a new understanding of the oldest institution of all, the family, and the means to a solution to the problems of modern societies.
