“…However, when studied by the means of the drawing task, the impact of the cultural environment cannot be ignored. The majority of previous research has been conducted in Western environments characterised by Christianity and monotheistic traditions (Bucher, 1992;Daniel, 1997;Hanisch, 1996;Kay & Ray, 2004;Klein, 2000;Ladd et al, 1998). In this context, the gender of God is clearly presented as masculine.…”

When Children Draw Gods

When confronted with being asked to “draw god”, children have to solve a problem; they are being asked to produce a visual representation of an entity that they have never seen. Resources for solving this problem are available within the child’s cultural context: The shape of the figure itself may be based on various religious representations of gods, iconic figurations of supernatural agents in fictional artefacts (paintings, movies, cartoons even in advertisement), various valences may be attributed to colours or to different parts of an image composition, etc. The drawings produced by children depend also on their cognitive abilities to grasp the concept of god, their emotional abilities to express the accompanying feelings, their creativity and artistic skills. In representing god, children have to solve additional problems. For example, connotations of the concept of god can awaken attachment bonds to parental figures; religious prohibitions against representations of god can be in conflict with the task of drawing god. The purpose of this work is to integrate the results presented in parts II-V of this book, and to articulate the different factors in an integrated model that outlines possible strategies used to carry out the project of drawing god.

This essay attempts to assist priests, ministers, religious educators, parents, etc. in their difficult task to stimulate, "transmit", and support a healthy religious faith. A healthy religion is defined as one that contributes to the development of human potential, makes for the physical and psychic health of its believers, strengthens relationships and social cohesion. For Christians, such a religion is based on the Bible. However, given already the multitude of narratives in Scripture, its messages call for interpretation. To stay healthy in a changing environment, that interpretation has to change with changing circumstances and insights. Traditionally, such a task falls to the Church and its theologians. Thus, Thomas Aquinas integrated the various insights of his time in the summa theologiae. Unfortunately, with the progress of the new, inductive science, its new insights (e.g., of Galileo, of Darwin) were no longer fully integrated into the views of the Church. Although efforts toward a better integration are noted (e.g., Bouma-Prediger,
