| Description: |
Stollar proposes a liberation theology of the child. He begins with a theoretical framework that centres children in our theology and ecclesial life. Reframing biblical stories to centre children, we can see how the binding of Isaac reflects the spiritual effects of child abuse, or how children like Miriam can serve as leaders in their communities. Using scriptural examples as well as real studies of children's spiritual lives, Stollar asserts that children can be priests, prophets, and theologians in our communities. Each chapter concludes with activities and discussion points for introducing the book's concepts to children.
The Kingdom of Children is a must-read for youth ministers, parents, and anyone who works with children. By embracing the liberation of children, we can avoid stunting their spiritual growth and passing on trauma. And when we lift up children, truly value and learn from them, we build up the kingdom of God here in our communities. |
