Abstract

This article explores the theological conversations of pupils of Religious Educa- tion in schools in Slovakia. It clarifies the foundations of a theology of children that seriously takes pupils as subjects and constructors of their own religious reality, and discusses the possibilities and conditions for children’s theologizing in Religious Education. It analyses and examines specific sequences of pupils’ theological conversations, highlighting the specific roles of the teacher of Religious Education and offering suggestions for supporting pupils’ independent theological thinking
