People don't realize how horribly children were treated in the past. Children in Pagan societies suffered. Ancient Roman and Greek laws and customs devalued their lives. This video explores how Christianity revolutionized the treatment of children in the ancient world, where practices like infanticide, child slavery, and sexual abuse were rampant. The introduction and spread of Christian values brought a significant shift, emphasizing the intrinsic worth of every child and fostering protective measures. Early Christian leaders condemned harmful practices, promoted orphanages, and challenged societal norms, gradually improving children's lives. This video also touches on the continued impact of Christian missionaries in various cultures worldwide, who worked to eradicate harmful practices and improve child welfare, illustrating Christianity's long-term positive influence on children globally.
