This collection of essays by Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scholars
underscores the significance of sustained and serious ethical,
inter-religious, and interdisciplinary reflection on children.
Essays in the first half of the volume discuss fundamental beliefs
and practices within the religious traditions of Judaism,
Christianity and Islam regarding children, adult obligations to
them, and a child's own obligations to others. The second half of
the volume focuses on selected contemporary challenges regarding
children and faithful responses to them. Marcia J. Bunge brings
together scholars from various disciplines and diverse strands
within these three religious traditions, representing several views
on essential questions about the nature and status of children and
adult-child relationships and responsibilities. The volume not only
contributes to intellectual inquiry regarding children in the
specific areas of ethics, religious studies, children's rights, and
childhood studies, but also provides resources for child advocates,
religious leaders, educators, and those engaged in inter-religious
dialogue. Marcia J. Bunge is Professor of Humanities and Theology
at Christ College, the Honors College of Valparaiso University
(Indiana); Director of the Child in Religion and Ethics Project;
and the University's W.C. Dickmeyer Professor. She is the
translator and editor of selected texts by J. G. Herder entitled
Against Pure Reason: Writings on History, Language, and Religion
(1993). She has also edited and contributed to The Child in
Christian Thought (2001); The Child in the Bible (2008, co-edited
with Terence Fretheim and Beverly Roberts Gaventa); and Children
and Childhood in World Religions: Primary Sources and Texts (2009,
co-edited with Don S. Browning).
