The Child in
Christian Thought offers the first major survey of the
history of Christian thought on children. Each chapter, written
by an expert in the field, discusses the particular perspectives
on children held by influential theologians and Christian
movements throughout church history, asking what resources
they can contribute to a sound contemporary view of childhood
and child-rearing. Intended for all readers, this needed book
will be a valuable resource for laying the foundation for
a new, more meaningful Christian view of childhood today.
