In this dynamic work, which draws on sources ancient and modern, pagan and Christian, Eastern Christian and Western, Dr. Kwasniewski helps readers better understand and more fully live the Church's rich and beautiful teaching on the sacred mysteries of marriage, family, childbearing and childrearing, as well as the vocations to consecrated virginity and celibate priesthood, all of which are set in light of one another (as, indeed, they cannot be understood in isolation). The work uncovers and opposes the deepest errors out of which the sexual revolution emerged or into which it has degenerated. Rising above lower levels of analysis, Treasuring the Goods of Marriage in a Throwaway Society reaches a properly ascetical-mystical level, dealing ultimately with spiritual warfare and divinization.
