We may be tempted to despair when we see high divorce rates, children born to unmarried parents or single parents, abuse and neglect, and people delaying marriage. Moore says this is the reality of living in a broken and sin-filled world, but that we should not fear.
Hart’s argument is forceful, analytically clear, and compelling, in that it begins where theology should properly begin: with God.
