Abstract

The Reformed Christian tradition has tended to employ the Augustinian concept of original sin and guilt as a key part of a child's spirituality and pedagogical methodology. Recent approaches in the phenomenological tradition have questioned such a position and emphasised the high spirituality of the child. The conflict between these two positions can be explored using the slaughter of the firstborn in the book of Exodus as a case study. This paper argues that a Reformed covenantal approach better explains the possibility of divine-child encounters in the telling of the Judeo-Christian story and that the place of original sin and guilt should be reconsidered in the transmission of the Christian faith.
