Abstract

This project proposes a new epistemological understanding for Southern Baptist educators of how children formulate their deepest religious meanings and shows how to incorporate that understanding into a pedagogical framework for children's faith development. The project reviews Jean Piaget's play theory, Johan Huizinga's study of play, and Jürgen Moltmann's theology of play and examines the faith development theories of James W Fowler, Fritz Oser, and Romney Moseley, focusing on the importance of imaginative play and God images. Employing three play activities with a group of children, the project tests the teaching role of imaginative play and the centrality of God images.
