In fact, where does the Bible address the *specifics* of raising children in the Christian faith at all? Doesn't it pretty much deal with generalities?
Doesn't the time frame in which the New Testament was written preclude any specific, detailed instructions on the raising of children in the faith? The people of that time were concerned primarily with spreading the Good News of Jesus to a whole generation who had not yet heard. Wouldn't the tough questions of raising children in the faith develop over a couple of generations rather than being an immediate New Testament concern?
