| In the pre-Christian world, children were slain on pagan altars, and now, in the post-Christian world of the affluent West, children are again the object of adult hostility. In the U.S.A. the abuse of children has been called a "national mergency", while in almost every country on earth the killing of children still unborn has become an ideology of "choice".
In this challenging book, John Saward examines the work of several Roman Catholic writers, including St. Thérèse of Lisieux, G. K. Chesterton, Charles Peguy, Georges Bernanos and Hans Urs von Balthasar who rose up in defense and celebration of childhood. This is a ground-breaking work in the theology of childhood and the analysis of modernity.
