Cover title.

A theology for children,
Help for mum and dad

When it comes passing on the Christian faith to children, Brian K Smith is convinced that more is needed than just Bible stories. Of course children need a knowledge of the Scriptures, but beyond that they also need to see the big picture , which, among all the pieces, can so easily be missed. Who made God? is a big picture book. In twelve chapters it explores the major themes of Christian theology from the Incarnation (What is God like?) to Eschatology (What happens at the End?) The theology here is contained in conversations that four children, together with the boy from next door, have with their parents and grandfather. This book can be given to children who are just learning to read for themselves, or it can be read to them by parents and care-givers. The children's material is found on the right-hand pages. On the facing pages are comments to help parents. These provide background information and Bible references, together with further explanation of the theological ideas being presented. At the end of each chapter there is a puzzle activity to reinforce what has been learned. Also included are suggestions for family discussion.
