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."--BOOK JACKET.
