In this third and final part of my three-part series on Christian Domestic Discipline, we explore how the practice of domestic discipline continue through the middle-ages and even into America up until the mid-20th century. We will look at writings of church theologians as well as civil practices and court cases which upheld the husbands right and duty of “domestic discipline” as it later came to be called.

In this second part of my three-part series on Christian Domestic Discipline, we explore the polar opposite positions of Augustine and John Chrysostom on the morality of the corporal discipline of wives. In this podcast we will also explore the differences between Roman and Greek cultures which affected the views of these two great church fathers.

In this first part of a three part series, I establish the Biblical foundation of Christian Domestic Discipline. In the next parts of this series, I will show the history of Christians, down through the centuries, who believed in and practiced domestic discipline.
