While children figure prominently in religious traditions, few
books have directly explored the complex relationships between
children and religion. This is the first book to examine the theme
of children in major religions of the world. Each of six chapters,
edited by world-class scholars, focuses on one religious tradition
and includes an introduction and a selection of primary texts
ranging from legal to liturgical and from the ancient to the
contemporary. Through both the scholarly introductions and the
primary sources, this comprehensive volume addresses a range of
topics, from the sanctity of birth to a child's relationship to
evil, showing that issues regarding children are central to
understanding world religions and raising significant questions
about our own conceptions of children today. The religions
discussed in this book include: Judaism, Christianity, Islam,
Hinduism, Buddhism, and, Confucianism.
