Chapter 5
The Child in the Midst
This chapter explores the divine childlikeness of God and Jesus, arguing that childhood belongs to the divine nature and that God is perfectly devoted to his creatures. It critiques theological misrepresentations of God as a distant monarch, instead presenting God as a loving, childlike Father who finds blessedness in self-giving love. The chapter also discusses receiving a child in Christ's name as receiving God himself, and emphasizes that true faith involves coming to God even in dearth of feelings.
