From recent sex abuse scandals in the Roman Catholic Church, to
arguments about faith schools and religious indoctrination, this
volume considers the interconnection between the actual lives of
children and the position of children as placeholders for the
future. Childhood has often been a particular site of struggle for
negotiating the location of religion in public and everyday social
life, and children's involvement and non-involvement in religion
raises strong feelings because they represent the future of
religious and secular communities, even of society itself. The
Bloomsbury Reader in Religion and Childhood provides a rich
resource for students and scholars of this interdisciplinary field,
and addresses wider questions about the distinctiveness of
childhood and its religious dimensions in historical and
contemporary perspective. Divided into five thematic parts, the
volume provides classic, contemporary, and specially commissioned
readings from a range of perspectives, including the sociological,
anthropological, historical, and theological. Case studies range
from Augustine's description of childhood in Confessions, the
psychology of religion and childhood, to religion in children's
literature, religious education, and Qur'anic schools. - Religious
traditions covered include Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism,
and Buddhism, in the UK and Europe, USA, Latin America and Africa -
An introduction situates each thematic part, and each reading is
contextualised by the editors - Guidance on further reading and
study questions are provided on the book's webpage
