Emory Professor of Christian Ethics Timothy P. Jackson is a believer in qualities like justice and autonomy when considering the best interests of a child. But where, he wonders, does love come in?

In his new edited volume, "The Best Love of the Child: Being Loved and Being Taught to Love as the First Human Right" (Eerdmans, 2011), Jackson joins 19 contributors to explore love as a human right.

Listen to Timothy P. Jackson talk about the concept of "the best love of the child," and read an excerpt from the new book:
