LIMINA - Theological perspectives from Graz is the scientific open-access journal of the Faculty of Catholic Theology at the University of Graz. The thematic focus of LIMINA is on current transformation processes and is oriented towards the following questions: What are the socially, culturally, politically, religiously and ecclesiastically most challenging changes and upheavals of the present? How can these be addressed from a theological perspective? In what way do they require innovative methodological and interdisciplinary approaches? How do these changes and conflicts transform theology itself?
Vol. 8 No. 1 (2025): What is childhood? Philosophical, cultural and theological perspectives
‘Childhood’ is not a pertinent question of theology – at least at first glance. Looking closer, however, the term ‘child’ appears in many theological texts and contexts, particularly with regard to what it means to be a child and the concept of ‘children of God’. While these references are often used in a metaphorical rather than investigative sense, this issue of LIMINA – Theological perspectives from Graz specifically seeks to extract and extrapolate aspects of childhood(s) and child-being that may inspire as well as irritate theological thought and research.
