{"product_id":"9780334065005","title":"God the Child : Small, Weak and Curious Subversions","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe express the mystery of God with diverse metaphors, but mostly in Adult terms. In this experimental theological adventure, Graham Adams imagines what might flow from a more thorough 'be-child-ing' of God. Aware that the Child can be idealized, he selects particular characteristics of childness in order to disrupt God's omnipresence, omnipotence and omniscience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe smallness of the Child re-envisages divine location in sites of smallness, like an open palm receiving the experiences of the overlooked. The weakness of the Child reimagines divine agency as chaos-event, subverting prevailing patterns of power and evoking relationships of mutuality. And the curiosity of the Child reconceives divine encounter as horizon-seeker, imaginatively and empathetically pursuing the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese possibilities are brought into dialogue both with other theologies (Black, disabled and queer) and with pastoral loss, economic\/ecological injustice, and theological education. Through these conversations, God the Child emerges not only as a new model for God, but intrinsic to God's new social reality which is close at hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlogpost: What if God is a child?
