This revised edition of The Family Metaphor in Jesus’ Teaching examines the family metaphors for God (Father) and for believers (’children, ’ ’brothers’) that Jesus chose to use. Jesus not only held up a child as an example of receptivity, but he defended actual children, warning against despising ’one of these little ones.’ Using current discussions of the ’equal-regard family’ and of the importance of ’human fathering, ’ Stephen Finlan explores how the gospel entails a changed model of parenting and of marriage and a new approach to spiritual growth.
