This is the temporary layout for topic pages. For now this will just be a short description followed by a list of relevant verses. Later on, the verses will be organized into a comprehensive explanation of the topic.

Family is a structured sphere of authority, made distinct from and protected from certain forms of government interference. Heads-of-household are given wide discretion to distinguish the best means to discipline and train their families in righteousness, and certain civil penalties (such as the capital penalty for being a stubborn and rebellious burden on society in Deuteronomy 21:18-21) can only be invoked by parents. This topic will discuss that authority and assess its scope by an examination of the relevant scriptures.
