The Best Love of the Child: Being Loved and Being Taught to Love as the First Human Right [Paperback]
Editor: Timothy P.Jackson
Publisher: Eerdmans
Price: RM71.70
"The best we can do for our children is to give them every opportunity to discover the joy and nobility that love brings to a life."Stephen G. Post (from preface)Much has been written about the rights owed to children: the right to live, the right to be nurtured and cared for, the right to an ample measure of health and happiness -- and, especially, the right to be loved. In this volume twenty scholars from across sociological, psychological, historical, philosophical, theological, and legal disciplines argue that the right of children to be loved can best be fulfilled by teaching them how to love others.
Celebrating the critical roles played by family, religion, and community in protecting and developing the child's emerging personhood, The Best Love of the Child fosters a more nuanced understanding of that which is truly at the heart of a child's best interest -- love that flows freely both to and from children.
