Essays bringing together in fruitful dialogue the Child Theology Movement and the Spirit-centred theology of the American theologian James E. Loder.
The Child Theology Movement follows Jesus in putting the child and childlike humility at the heart of theological discussion and the life of the church. In an effort to advance Child Theology by engaging the deepest dimensions of practical theology, members of the movement have turned to the work of James E. Loder Jr, for forty years the Mary D. Synnott Professor of the Philosophy of Education at Princeton Theological Seminary, with whom they share a number of common concerns: human development (particularly children's development), the church's witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ and discerning the work of Spiritus Creator in the postmodern world. The Logic of the Spirit in Human Thought and Experience is a collection of papers that were presented at a meeting of members of the Child Theology Movement and Loder's former students, compiled in this volume as a means of extending the conversation that took place inspired by Loder's interdisciplinary practical theological science and his discernment of the "logic of the Spirit". They are offered with confidence that the same Spirit continues to work in all persons who hope for the Spirit's redemptive transformation of all creation, beginning with children.
