Abstract

"From a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus," St. Paul wrote to Timothy, thereby commending the knowledge of Scripture from childhood. In order to know the Holy Scriptures from childhood, children must have the Scriptures presented to them in such a way that they are able to understand them. Knowledge is based on understanding.
