This is the first book to examine the theme of children in major religions of the world. Each of six chapters, edited by world-class scholars, focuses on one religious tradition and includes an introduction and a selection of primary texts ranging from legal to liturgical and from the ancient to the contemporary. Through both the scholarly introductions and the primary sources, this comprehensive volume addresses a range of topics, from the sanctity of birth to a child's relationship to evil, showing that issues regarding children are central to understanding world religions and raising significant questions about our own conceptions of children today. 410 0$aRutgers series in childhood studies. 606 $aReligions 606 $aChildren$xReligious aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aReligions. 615 0$aChildren$xReligious aspects. 676 $a200.83 701 $aBrowning$b Don S$01004671 701 $aBunge$b Marcia J$g(Marcia JoAnn),$f1954-$01004672 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461241503321 996 $aChildren and childhood in world religions$92308183 997 $aUNINA
