Infants and Children in the Church: Five Views on Theology and Ministry - Adam Harwood

Descriere

n nA congregation rejoices when a new child is added to its midst, yet the church often wrestles--in both theology and practice--with how to best receive and minister to infants and children entrusted to her care. n n Frequent questions arise like: n n> How are infants and children impacted by sin?n n> How does God treat people who die in their infancy or childhood?n n> When and how are children considered members of the church?n n> When and how are children instructed in Christian doctrine? n n nInfants and Children in the Church addresses these critical and sensitive questions from a variety of rich traditions, including Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, and Baptist, so that Christians can make the most of every opportunity as they minister to children.n
