What Is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense

By Sherif Girgis ’08 and Ryan T. Anderson ’04

Published Jan. 21, 2016

(Encounter Books) At only 109 pages, What is Marriage? may not appear comprehensive. But Girgis, George, and Anderson manage to make a layered argument in favor of traditional marriage in addition to refuting the arguments against them. Robert P. George is a Princeton politics professor and director of the James Madison Program. Girgis is a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton, and Anderson is a fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
