Abstract

The use of the rod and the strap in the home and school from a liberating Christian viewpoint is addressed. Tracing in broad strokes the history of the rod and role of children in society from ancient through medieval times to the present, the article concludes with an affirmation of redemption for children from the condemnation of the rod.
