In this issue, we explore why children and childhood are at the
heart of the gospel - and of God's plan for restoring the world. Hear
from Johann Christoph Arnold on "Discovering Reverence," Joan Almon on
"Kindergartners Are Humans," and Glen Stanton on "Why Dads Toss Babies."
A surgeon shares what he's learned from children with disabilities,
while dispatches from Ferguson, Missouri, the US-Mexico border, and the
South Bronx focus on places where childhood is especially threatened.
Other contributors examine public, homeschool, and Christian education;
highlight the role of fathers; and grapple with Jesus' uncomfortable
version of family values.
Bold, hope-filled, and down-to-earth, Plough Quarterly features
thought-provoking articles, commentary, interviews, short fiction, book
reviews, poetry and artwork to inspire everyday faith and action. Each
issue brings together essential voices from many traditions to give you
fresh insights on a core theme such as peacemaking, biblical justice,
children and family, building community, man and woman, nature and the
environment, nonviolence, or simple living. Starting from the conviction
that the teachings and example of Jesus can transform and renew our
world, it aims to apply them to all aspects of life, seeking common
ground with all people of goodwill regardless of creed.
