What does God think about children? What does this tell us about how we should view and treat children today? In re-examining what the Bible says about children, mission theologian Anne Richards argues that God finds children worthy of call, commission, blessing, healing and salvation. She argues that children are not only deeply woven into God's purposes but are also makers of God's story, 'providers to us of a language through which God's will for the creation is revealed.' Interweaving analysis of the Biblical material with stories about contemporary children and childhood, Anne Richards also touches on issues of infertility, consumerism and neglect.

Anne Richards

Dr Anne Richards is National Adviser for Mission Theology for the Church of England. She is a prolific writer and much-requested speaker on a wide range of theological topics. Anne is co-editor of Through the eyes of a child: New insights in theology from a child's perspective (Church House Publishing, 2009) and author of Sense Making Faith, which was the featured Lent course on BBC Radio 4 and BBC local radio in 2009.

A brief postscript concludes that children are "the words of God in the world." Here is a book to help us listen to those words. -- Revd Dr John Pridmore, former Rector of Hackney in East London * The Church Times *
