GRITtv: Kathryn Joyce: The Quiverfull Movement |
We may be living in what Kathryn Joyce calls a "pop cultural moment of preoccupation with large families." We have the Duggars, a family of 18 children who quote Psalm 127:3 on their website, "Children are a heritage of the Lord…," and the Gosselins of John and Kate Plus Eight, who seem to be just about everywhere right now. You can bet that there are probably plans for new shows and new series. But what about the ideology, philosophy, and teachings that shape the lives of families like the Duggars?
