In 2006 and then, seven years later in 2013, a small scaled research project was carried out into Christian children’s developing perspectives as they encounter sacred text from the context of their home lives (Worsley in Br J Relig Educ 28(3):247-257, 2006, Br J Relig Educ 35(1):55–71, 2013). Fourteen years on in 2020, these same children and young people were contacted with a similar interview and the results are offered, giving a rare longitudinal insight into the process of meaning making. In order to comment on the meaning-making interpretative processes that children employ at different key stages of development, the insights of hermeneutic phenomenology and of developmental psychology have been used, detailing their former stage in 2006, the seven years later in 2013 and finally their current stage. This article offers qualitative insights into children’s and young people’s perspectives from within their developing world views. The scriptural understanding of these children is given alongside an hermeneutical commentary.

2006年，然后是7年后的2013年，针对基督徒儿童在家庭生活中遇到神圣文本的过程，他们进行了一个小型研究项目（Worsley in Br J Relig Educ 28（3）：247- 257，2006年，Br J Relig Educ 35（1）：55-71，2013）。到2020年的14年间，这些相同的儿童和年轻人也接受了类似的采访，并提供了结果，从而对意思的产生过程提供了难得的纵向洞察力。为了评论儿童在发育的不同关键阶段所采用的意义解释过程，我们使用了诠释学现象学和发展心理学的见解，详细介绍了他们的前一个阶段（2006年），2013年的七个年级以及最后的阶段。当前阶段。本文从发展中世界的观点出发，对儿童和年轻人的观点提供了定性见解。对这些孩子的经文理解与解释性注释同时给出。
