Ivy Greenwood’s Reviews > When Children Became People: The Birth Of Childhood In Early Christianity > Status Update

“Children were interesting, not primarily for their character as children, but because of something they would become in the future.”

This book is wild. Very excited to get to the patristic teachings about families and children. I hope it’s less sad than reading about children in Greco-Roman culture.

“The child symbolized the absence of logos… one consequence of such ideas is that the opinions of children were seen as of no more consequence than those of animals.”

This book is gonna be wild.

About to crush these 300 pages and nerd OUT on families in the early church. Not sorry for all the quotes I’ll be posting. 😂😂
