Review :
Paul Peachey argues an important and sustained thesis with great passion and considerable length. -- Adrian Thatcher Intams I affirm Peachey's bold interdisciplinary effort and his desire for further conversation across disciplines. As a theologian I appreciate his careful attempt to balance autonomy/attachment and the individual/communal in his description of human realityand his reclaiming of the unitive purpose of marriage as primary while respecting its procreative purpose.
