NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 243pp. Paperback. In The Children of Israel, Danna Nolan Fewell explores how imaginative readings of selected scriptural texts might raise adult consciousness and responsibility toward children. Through stories, quotes, vignettes, and notes, Fewell provides different kinds of reading experiences, with different levels of coherence and disjunction, depending on how much the reader decides to delve into the critical apparatus or the framing dialogues. This work is designed to unsettle, to plant suggestions and questions, and to create space for reflection and conversation. It is an experiment to see if a postmodern reading of the Bible can provide a credible ethical vision that can inspire us to do a better job of caring for our children.

Jesus Christ is truly healer of the wounded psyche of man and gifts of healing through enlightenment are available to all those who truly seek wholeness and holiness and do so perserveringly.
