Excerpt from Childhood in the Moslem World Mohammed was, without doubt, one of the greatest religious leaders that the world has ever seen. He was a genius and a poet, a reformer and a great warrior. But Mohammed could never have said, "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven." His book, his life, his ideals, are not those of Him who placed a little child in the midst and gave the world of childhood an eternal inheritance of blessedness by His own Incarnation. The present wide and increasing interest in child welfare is due to Christianity, and makes the presentation of the facts here given in regard to Moslem childhood, timely. When the whole world has become one neighbourhood, no individual or race can live to itself. This is not a book for children, but about children. It could not be a book for them if it dealt faithfully and fearlessly with the real conditions as observed by eye-witnesses in many lands.

While children figure prominently in religious traditions, few books have directly explored the complex relationships between children and religion. This is the first book to examine the theme of children in major religions of the world. Each of six chapters, edited by world-class scholars, focuses on one religious tradition and includes an introduction and a selection of primary texts ranging from legal to liturgical and from the ancient to the contemporary. Through both the scholarly introductions and the primary sources, this comprehensive volume addresses a range of topics, from the sanctity of birth to a child's relationship to evil, showing that issues regarding children are central to understanding world religions and raising significant questions about our own conceptions of children today.

The Middle Ages (800–1400) were a rich and vibrant period in the history of European culture, society, and intellectual thought. Emerging state powers, economic expansion and contraction, the growing influence of the Christian Church, and demographic change all influenced the ideals and realities of childhood and family life. Movements for Church reform brought the spiritual and moral concerns of the laity into sharper focus, profoundly shaping attitudes towards gender and sexuality and how these might be applied to family roles. At the same time, the growth of trade, the spread of literacy and learning, shifting patterns of settlement, and the process of urbanization transformed childhood. This volume explores the ideas and practices which underpinned contemporary perceptions of childhood in the medieval West, and illuminates the enduring importance of the family as a dynamic economic, political, and social unit. A Cultural History of Childhood and Family in the Middle Ages presents essays on family relationships, community, economy, geography and the environment, education, life cycle, the state, faith and religion, health and science, and world contexts.
