The Sacred Core of the Family

The Sacred Core of the Family: Shi’a and Catholic Perspectives is a collaborative interreligious study authored by the late Dr. Yaser Abouzadeh Gatabi, with scientific editing by Fr. Dr. Miguel Ángel Peraza and Mohammad Sahhaf Kashani. The book addresses the contemporary crisis of the family in a secularized world by returning to the spiritual and divine dimensions of the household in Islam and Christianity. Exploring the family as a “sacred covenant” and a “community of persons,” this volume bridges Shia Islamic and Catholic theological traditions to articulate a shared wisdom necessary for safeguarding human dignity, fostering interreligious solidarity, and countering modern individualism.
