The Christian Home Industry

The Christian Home Industry explores how the ideal of a “godly home” has evolved into a public display of obedience and conformity, scrutinizing the systems and teachings that shape family life within certain Christian communities. Through analysis of institutional documents, family teachings, and theological reflections, the author examines the impact of these dynamics on individuals and families, highlighting issues of authority, surveillance, and emotional cost. The book aims to encourage a reexamination of the notion of home, advocating for its rescue from superficial appearances. A companion study guide is included for personal and group reflection.
