Abstract
Jesus’ concern for children was evident in his ministry in an episode when he rebuked the disciples who scolded them (Luke 18:15–17). This article considers why Jesus cared for and safeguarded little children in his mission. The Church in Africa as a steward of the kingdom of God has to review its methods of caring for and protecting children. The contribution of the article will be to urge the Church in Africa to take more seriously its concern for children. The methodological approach engages qualitative thought with quantitative research into critical findings from particular churches.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Youth and Theology is an international peer-reviewed academic journal developed and originally published by the IASYM, the International Association for the Study of Youth Ministry, now published by Brill. The journal aims at furthering the academic study and research of youth and youth ministry, and the formal teaching and training of youth ministry. The academic efforts are rooted in the Christian theological tradition and ecumenical. The scope of the journal is to serve scholarship in the broad field of children, youth, faith, church, theology and culture. Research articles in the journal mainly have theology (both practical, systematic and biblical theology) as a core discipline. At the same time, contributions are often interdisciplinary, which implies theological reflection combined with e.g. pedagogical, sociological or psychological perspectives.
