Contents:
Introduction -- 'God made Man Greater when He made Him less': Traherne's Iconic Child -- 'Sense Deified': Humanity in Divinity -- 'L'Élève de la nature': The Rousseauvian Shift -- 'Die reine Offenbarung des Göttlichen': Who is Schleiermacher's Child? -- 'Einheimisch' or 'Neugeboren'?: The Whereabouts of Schleiermacher's Child -- 'La théologie détendue': Péguy's Liturgical Child -- 'L'Éternel dans le temporel': The Child as Icon of Hope -- Conclusion.
Summary: Children of God uncovers the significant, but largely unnoticed, place of the child as a prototype of human flourishing in the work of four authors spanning the modern period. Shedding new light on the role of the child figure in modernity, and in theological responses to it, the book makes an important contribution to the disciplines of historical theology, theology and literature and ecumenical theology. Through a careful exploration of the continuities and differences in the work of Thomas Traherne, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Friedrich Schleiermacher and Charles Péguy, it traces the ways in which their distinctive responses to human childhood structured the broader pattern of their theology, showing how they reached beyond the confines of academic theology and exercised a lasting influence on their literary and cultural context.
