This book significantly deepens the contemporary discussion of the theology and practice
of adopting children. Though adoption appears prominently in Scripture, contemporary
adoption practice has thus far proceeded without serious theological engagement. This
book seeks to fill this gap by offering a theological and ethical perspective on adoption
that not only clarifies and complicates contemporary understandings of adoption, but
also throws fresh light on family, community, vocation, and even what it means to
be human. Both interdisciplinary and international, the volume is brings together
theologians and ethicists from Europe, the UK, Canada and the United States. A rich
set of reflections from both practical and theoretical perspectives offers a unique
and uniquely insightful vision of Christian adoption
