About the book

Bradley pairs sociological research with Christian formation to trace what happens to children, churches, and communities when fathers are absent or disengaged, then offers structural strategies for change. A Reformed ethicist and former theologian-in-residence at Redeemer NYC, writing on a subject the church cannot treat as merely private.
