NEELE, A C. Post-Reformation Reformed sources and children. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2008, vol.64, n.1, pp. 653-664. ISSN 0259-9422.

This article suggests that the topic "children" received considerable attention in the post-Reformation era - the period of CA 1565-1725. In particular, the author argues that the post-Reformation Reformed sources attest of a significant interest in the education and parenting of children. This interest not only continued, but intensified during the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation when much thought was given to the subject matter. This article attempts to appraise the aim of post-Reformation Reformed sources on the topic "children."
