A Good Base,
This review is from: The Child in Christian Thought (Religion, Marriage, and Family) (Paperback)
This book will give you an overview of the Churches history on children and families. While the book presents many ideas that are antiquated and opposite of today's theologies on the the teaching of children, this book can be used as a tool to see where many bases for church's thoughts on children came from.
An important history lesson for anyone working with children!
