-JOURNAL OF YOUTH AND THEOLOGY "Research into spiritual development
during childhood and adolescence has . . . yearned for the stimulus
of integration, cross-fertilization, and internationalization,
across conceptual boundaries, methodological divisions, religious
traditions, and local interests. The Handbook of Spiritual
Development in Childhood and Adolescence sets out to meet this need
and does so with skill and with authority, by identifying the key
themes and by drawing on the best minds to address those themes.
Research communities and faith communities have been well served by
this pioneering initiative." - The Revd Professor Leslie J Francis
PhD, ScD, DD, University of Wales, Bangor, UK The Handbook of
Spiritual Development in Childhood and Adolescence breaks new
ground by articulating the state of knowledge in the area of
childhood and adolescent spiritual development. Featuring a rich
array of theory and research from an international assortment of
leading social scientists in multiple disciplines, this book
represents work from diverse traditions and approaches - making it
an invaluable resource for scholars across a variety of disciplines
and organizations. Key Features: Presents a wealth of
interdisciplinary theory and research, as well as proposals for
future areas of inquiry, to help move spiritual development into a

childhood and adolescence to introduce the topic engagingly to
students Features the works of scholars from around the world in
multiple disciplines (psychology, sociology, anthropology,
