Drawing on examples from British world expressions of Christianity, this collection further greater understanding of religion as a critical element of modern children's and young people's history. "If you believe that childhood represents a formative period of psychological development and a lens through which new experiences and knowledge-religious or otherwise-are filtered, you will want to incorporate essays such as the ones provided in Creating Religious Childhoods into your work." - Joy Schulz, Metropolitan Community College "Overall, this is a very rich and fascinating volume. Because it deals with majority Christian subjects and themes alone there is clearly great scope for follow-up research into other childhoods in other religious contexts, spatially and temporally." - Stephen Parker, University of Worcester
