N2  - Outlining 282 guidelines for Christian parenting, Koelman emphasizes the need for loving, thoughtful discipline and urges parents to tell their children that the purpose of punishment is their eternal well-being. He describes the need for good schools and teachers and encourages the latter to realize their great responsibility. The Duties of Parents gives readers a glimpse of the theological and practical concerns of the developing Protestant tradition. Practical application abounds for raising children today as well. --from publisher description
