Family Living in the Bible (1963) is a book by Edith Deen.

Abstract

"Popular description of marriage customs, the role of children, and family relationships from Adam and Eve to the early Christian era, based on Biblical passages ... Now for the first time the whole of family living in the Bible is brought together within the covers of one book. Edith Deen dramatically portrays every aspect of Biblical marriage and family life from Adam and Eve in Eden to early Christianity's first families of faith. Deen writes in a simple, warm style. Her book is filled with fascinating background information discovered during her years of research on this book. At a time when one out of every four marriages in America ends in divorce, few books are more important. The aspects of family life so unforgettably presented in "Family Living in the Bible" give us convincing examples of the power of love to bind the family together and to bring into its protective sphere relatives, friends, acquaintances, and strangers."--Publisher description.
