However, the meaning of this phrase is not so clear. It has to be understood in its cultural context. The author seeks to clarify that cultural context by discussing the culture-related views of childhood in biblical - especially New Testament - times as these are reflected in biblical, Qumran and early rabbinic literature.25 pagesPDFDutchFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaChildren—Religious aspectsBible -- N.T.Faith developmentQumran communityJesus ChristChildren -- Biblical teaching.Bible -- N.T.Bible -- N.T.Article
