Specifically, author Margaret Y. MacDonald measures the impact of the New Testament's household codes (Colossians 3:18-4:1; Ephesians 5:21-6:9; the Pastoral letters) for understanding the status and role of children in Christian homes and assemblies. By allowing children to frame her analysis, MacDonald demonstrates that the rigid social divisions of the period (wives-husbands, children-parents, slaves-masters) were far more complex and overlapping within the Christian context-higChildrenHistoryChildrenBiblical teachingFamiliesHistoryChristianity and other religionsGreekChristianity and other religionsRomanChurch historyPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600ChildrenHistory.ChildrenBiblical teaching.FamiliesHistory.Christianity and other religionsGreek.Christianity and other religionsRoman.Church history261.8/358509015MacDonald Margaret Y.82783MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821957303321The power of children4001839UNINA
