God and Babies: Glimpses of the Divine draws on our experiences with the very young to explore the nature of divine love. Using Christianity as an explanatory model, Dr. David J. Dixon takes seriously the idea that babies and toddlers have profound lessons to teach us-about grace, love, and forgiveness; tolerance and dignity; suffering, death, and eternity; and, above all, living with both doubt and hope. By delving into the beautiful truths babies teach us through their innocence, God and Babies: Glimpses of the Divine is a plea for compassion and acceptance, and a reproach to religious radicalism and intolerance.
With insights developed as a physician, a religious studies professor, and a parent, Dr. Dixon demonstrates how a baby's way of being in creation can be revelatory and inspiring. Through their welcoming, tolerant, and inclusive love, babies and toddlers can teach us how to love as God loves, even in times of trauma, heartache, and illness. And when this lesson is learned, we can begin to heal the wounds of bigotry and hate.
God and Babies: Glimpses of the Divine offers a vision that will challenge, encourage, and console, while giving a refreshing and deeply human perspective on the world and its Creator.
