In this volume nineteen biblical scholars collaborate to provide an
informed and focused treatment of biblical perspectives on children
and childhood. Looking at the Bible through the "lens" of the child
exposes new aspects of biblical texts and themes. Some of the
authors focus on selected biblical texts -- Genesis, Proverbs,
Mark, and more -- while others examine such biblical themes as
training and disciplining, children and the image of God, the
metaphor of Israel as a child, and so on. In discussing a vast
array of themes and questions, the chapters also invite readers to
reconsider the roles that children can or should play in religious
communities today.
