The purpose of the D6 Family Ministry Journal is to support the thinking and practices of parenting in Christian homes, in family ministry in the local church, and in parachurch settings that reflect God's intent for generational discipleship as presented in Deuteronomy 6 and other biblical texts. This purpose is achieved by the publication of academic peer-reviewed articles along with a limited selection of practitioner insights, and book reviews on recent family ministry titles. The journal is primarily intended for two audiences: an academic community of professors and students in institutions of higher learning who are committed to the development of a new generation of Christian ministers and community leaders. Second, those professionals who are already serving in local church and parachurch settings. The Journal hopes to facilitate discussion and learning among both groups.
