Systematically Episode 04 - The One Introducing Theology of Children
In today’s episode, we begin by discussing our most memorable cooking failures, asking a proverbial chicken/egg question: “Does Robyn have no memories of her cooking failures because her culinary record is perfect, or is Robyn’s culinary record perfect because her memory has selectively deleted her cooking failures?” Regardless of where you stand on this issue, we doubt you’ll disagree that her area of research is fascinating. This research is focused on the theology of children, which is the topic of today’s main segment. Robyn walks us through contemporary debates about children’s humanity, dignity, agency, etc., pointing out how much work remains to be done within this burgeoning field. Robyn then gives us an introduction to her own work in developing a nuanced, holistic, and honest account of children and their decision-making, especially as this relates to theological anthropology and ethics. Jon shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye.
