Prayer and Marital Intervention: Asking for Divine Help … or Professional Trouble?

Abstract

My selected title for this response piece reflects the late David Larson's identification of religion as the university's “anti–tenure topic.” Beach, Fincham, Hurt, McNair, and Stanley (hereafter, the authors) have stepped upon some dangerous soil. However, this statement is intended as a welcome, not a threat. I appreciate the authors' efforts to break new ground in an important but highly sensitive domain.
