Description

This course focuses on Christian theological understanding of childhood by examining changing views of "the child" across various historical periods and in the works of selected theologians, educators, and other significant thinkers. It considers contemporary psychological, sociological, and educational theories about childhood that inform current theologies of childhood, as we look at the dual questions of how the church educates children and how to educate the church to care for/advocate for children. Prerequisite: EL1515 Education I.
