• En resumen, la Ilustración privatizó el matrimonio, sacándolo de la esfera pública, y redefinió su propósito como gratificación individual, no como un "bien más amplio", como reflejar la naturaleza de Dios, producir carácter o criar hijos.

• La predicación es convincente para los jóvenes adultos seculares...
  - no si los predicadores utilizan videoclips de sus películas favoritas y visten de manera informal y suenan sofisticados,
