Teach theology to children? How? And how much can they understand? This workshop will explore the virtues and methods of passing on the doctrines of the Christian faith to children in the home, church, and beyond, so that they grow up firmly grounded in biblical thinking. Along with the basic disciplines of reading and explaining the Scriptures, how might we clearly aim to teach the beautiful truths of who God is, who we human beings are, how God works his plan of salvation for the world . . . in other words, theology?
