Video description:
Why were Christian parenting books so popular in the 70s, 80s and 90s? Who were the primary influencers in that movement, and what was the substance of the advice they imparted to families? Was that advice sound, or harmful, or even abusive? How does it comport with Christian theology? And, probably most importantly, how did it impact the countless children who were raised by parents in those decades? These are the questions at the hart of Burt & McGinnis’ new book ‘The Myth of Good Christian Parenting’
