| Summary |
"Family Matters: James Dobson and Focus on the Family's Advice to American Evangelicals by Hilde Løvdal Stephens is an insightful history and analysis of James Dobson's rise to fame, effect on American evangelical culture, and subsequent fall from relevance. Stephens scours through Dobson's books, articles, and other materials published by Focus on the Family in order to explore how evangelicals defined and defended the traditional family as an ideal and as a symbol in an ever-changing world"-- Provided by publisher. |
