Teaching Children About God

John Amos Comenius ("the father of modern education"), Orbis Pictus [the first children's picture book] (1887 English ed.), pp. 5-6:

God is of himself from everlasting to everlasting.

A most perfect and a most blessed Being.

In his Essence Spiritual, and One.

In his Personality, Three.

In his Will, Holy, Just, Merciful and True.

In his Power very great.

In his Goodness, very good.

In his Wisdom, unmeasurable.

A Light inaccessible; and yet all in all.

Every where, and no where.

The chiefest Good, and the only and inexhausted Fountain of all good things.

As the Creator, so the Governour and Preserver of all things, which we call the World.
