N2  - "This book explores the theological implications and practical realities of ministry with children in a globalized world. Affirming eight core beliefs regarding the place of children in creation - that they are created with dignity and intended to be placed in families, cared for in community, advocated by society, secured in hope, affirmed in God's church, included in God's mission, and engaged in creation care - this book traces the impact of such far-reaching issues as displacement, climate change, human trafficking, persecution, and gender discriminiation on childhood development. Written by ove twenty contributors from around the world, each section roots its premise in contextual thrology, examines the implications for praxis, provides a case study, and includes questions for discussion and reflection." -- Back cover
