Rodzina nadzieją ludzkości. Studium religioznawcze

Abstract

Marriage and family are communal and universal institutions. They are not connected with any pattern of religious life in any significant way. Nevertheless, religious systems pay considerable attention to marriage and family reminding that they are forms of living together and giving them a religious dimension. Facing present day tendencies and threats, religions guarantee stability of marriage and family while at the same time they confirm that it is in the bond of the family that the human being experiences love, matures and learns the responsibility to transmit life. In tribal religiosity, an emphasis is put on the fact that the family life is deeply rooted in the community.
