Kids and Kingdom

Challenging the conventional belief in Jesus' deep concern for children, this book presents a provocative argument that the Synoptic Gospels portray a more complex relationship. It suggests that, rather than fully embracing children within the kingdom of God, these texts reveal themes of household disruption and alienation stemming from Jesus' eschatological mission. The author examines how these narratives may obscure the reality of children's experiences during this transformative period.
