This open access book explores how children draw god. It looks at
children's drawings collected in a large variety of cultural and
religious traditions. Coverage demonstrates the richness of drawing
as a method for studying representations of the divine. In the
process, it also contributes to our understanding of this concept,
its origins, and its development. This intercultural work brings
together scholars from different disciplines and countries,
including Switzerland, Japan, Russia, Iran, Brazil, and the
Netherlands. It does more than share the results of their research
and analysis. The volume also critically examines the contributions
and limitations of this methodology. In addition, it also reflects
on the new empirical and theoretical perspectives within the
broader framework of the study of this concept. The concept of god
is one of the most difficult to grasp. This volume offers new
insights by focusing on the many different ways children depict god
throughout the world. Readers will discover the importance of
spatial imagery and color choices in drawings of god. They will
also learn about how the divine's emotional expression correlates
to age, gender, and religiosity as well as strategies used by
children who are prohibited from representing their god.
