Research secured qualitative research regarding children’s God concept. The researcher asked ten open-ended questions and a drawing prompt to explore children's in-depth God concepts. One hundred forty children from large Southern Baptist churches in Tarrant County, TX participated to reveal their thoughts about God. For example, children answered the question, “Is God like your mother?” with the following responses: “yes” by 76 children; “no” by 57 children; “both” by 5 children; and other responses by 2 children. The following are the reasons for their answers: “They love, care, help, and watch over me” by 47 children; “They made me” by 14 children; “They discipline me” by 3 children; “God is not a woman” by 35 children; “My mother is absent of divine attributes” by 6 children; and other responses by 35 children. Children’s answers revealed their deep thoughts concerning God and showed differences in different ways with which structured-questions would not show.

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.
