Description - Let the Children Come by Bonnie J. Miller–McLemore
In this important and much-needed book, theologian, author, and
teacher Bonnie J. Miller-McLemore writes about the struggle to
raise children with integrity and faithfulness as Christians in a
complex postmodern society. Let the Children Come shows that
the care of children is in itself a religious discipline and a
communal practice that places demands on both congregations and
society as a whole. The author calls for clearer and more defined
ways in which Christians can respond to the call to nurture all
children (not just their own) as manifestations of God's presence
in the world. Miller-McLemore raises and investigates questions
that up until now have largely been left unasked, such as: What are
the dominant cultural perceptions of children? including
religious perceptions? with which parents must grapple? How
have Christians defined children and parenting, and how should they
today?
