The decisive role of education in developing children’s faith has become more important in today’s society. Even though we live in an ever-changing world, there is an unchanging requirement for children’s education in faith. The history of Christian education has shown this concern. Throughout history, Christian educators have pursued a way of providing appropriate and sometimes transformative education for faith and a faithful life. This article is designed for understanding the historical continuity of the importance of Christian education for children, focusing on Horace Bushnell in the 19th century, who has been regarded as the Father of modern education, and Elizabeth Caldwell in the 21st century, who is examining and proposing several ways to build the Christian family in an educational context for future generations. Through the examination on Bushnell’s view of Christian nurture and Caldwell’s view of homemaking, this article includes a conversation between Bushnell and Caldwell on the issues of Christian education, the role of parent as an educator, and the partnership between home and church for children’s education in faith. The researcher, finally, suggests Christian education as nurture with intention, as good enough parents(educators), and the church as the big home and the home as the little church under the close partnership.

소개
한국에 복음이 들어오고, 교회가 설립된 것은 19세기 말이었다.
해방이 되면서 한국교회는 더욱 발전하게 되었고 그에 따라 기독교교육의 중요성과 필요성도 강조되게 되었다. 그러한 과정에 기독교교육을 전공한 학자들이 귀국함에 따라 그들을 중심으로 한국기독교교육학회를 결성할 필요성을 느껴 설립하게 되었다.
한국기독교교육학회의 설립 목적은 기독교교육학의 이론적 발전과 실천을 위한 연구와 장을 확대해가려는 것이다. 그리고 학자들간의 연구교류와 교제를 위한 장을 마련하기 위하여 본 학회를 1960년에 설립하였다.
