Description
Summary:How we understand children and childhood has changed across time and cultures. In the secular environment there is increasing focus on children’s agency and voice. In the religious domain there is an increased interest in doing theology of, for and with children. While this interest is largely academic it has significant implications for religious educators. This research explores 10-12 year old children’s responses to questions about God and makes recommendations regarding children doing theology in religious education classes.
