Children, Bible and Theology

The course aims to help you develop and articulate a Bible-based and Christ-centered view of children and childhood. It also aims to help students integrate this view with your own theology and ministry.   By the end of this course you should be able to:

• Identify the implicit views of children by observing their place and role in the weekly gathering of a local church.
• Articulate the theological perspectives on childhood implied in key biblical passages.
• Demonstrate the understanding of key concepts and issues in recent scholarship around children, Bible, and theology.
• Make a meaningful contribution to the application of biblical-theological perspectives on children in a practical ministry situation.
