This quotation needs be out there and exposed for what it&#8217;s worth: sloppy writing at best and bad theology at worst.<\/p>\n<p>Tedd Tripp, in the much-acclaimed conservative Evangelical parenting manual <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Shepherding-Childs-Heart-Parents-Handbook\/dp\/0966378644\/ref=tag_stp_st_edpp_url\" title=\"Shepherding a Child's Heart\"><em>Shepherding a Child&#8217;s Heart<\/em><\/a>, says that spanking is <em>redemptive<\/em>. Look for yourself:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>God has ordained the rod of discipline for this condition [sin\/rebelliousness]. The spanking process (undertaken in a biblical manner set forth in ch 15) drives foolishness from the heart of a child. Confrontation with the immediate and undeniably tactile sensation of a spanking renders an implacable child sweet. I have seen this principle hold true countless times. The young child who is refusing to be under authority is in a place of grave danger.<\/p>\n<p>The rod is given for\u00a0this extremity. &#8220;Punish him [a child] with the rod and save his soul from death&#8221; (Prov 23.14). Your children&#8217;s souls are in danger of death&#8211;spiritual death. <strong>Your task is to rescue your children from death. Faithful and timely use of the rod is the means of rescue.<\/strong> [emphasis added]<\/p>\n<p>This places the rod in its proper setting. Use of the rod is not a matter of an angry parent venting his wrath upon a small, helpless child. The rod is wielded by a faithful parent, recognizing his child&#8217;s dangerous state, employing a God-given remedy. The issue is not a parental insistence on being disobeyed. The issue is the child&#8217;s need to be rescued from death&#8211;the death that results from rebellion left unchallenged in the heart.
