The book disseminates original research and new developments in this study field, especially as relevant to the African context. In the process it addresses also the global need to hear voices from Africa in this academic field. It wants to convey the importance of considering Africa?s children in theologising. The different chapters represent diverse methodologies but the central and common focus is to approach the subject from the viewpoint of Africa?s children. The individual authors? varied theological sub-disciplinary dispositions contribute to the unique and distinct character of the book. Almost all chapters are theoretical orientated with less empirical research, although some of the chapters refer to empirical research which the authors have done in the past. 606 $aChildren$zAfrica 606 $aChildren$zAfrica$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aChildren$zAfrica$xSocial conditions$y21st century 606 $aChildren in public worship 606 $aTheology, Practical$zAfrica 615 0$aChildren 615 0$aChildren$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aChildren$xSocial conditions 615 0$aChildren in public worship. 615 0$aTheology, Practical 676 $a822 702 $aGrobbelaar$b Jan$f1956- 702 $aBreed$b Gert 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910166648703321 996 $aTheologies of childhood and the children of Africa$92083347 997 $aUNINA
