Book Synopsis The Development of the Family and Marriage in Europe by : Jack Goody

Book excerpt: An original theory asserts that this distinctive form of kinship system developed in the northern Mediterranean around the fourth century A.D., and that its subsequent growth can be attributed to the efforts of the early Christian Church to acquire property formerly held by domestic groups.
