Overview
This book offers multidisciplinary and inclusive perspectives on children and young people’s spirituality and its research in diverse socio-cultural contexts. It brings together a collection of select research articles that were published over a period of nearly two decades (2003-2021) in the International Journal of Children’s Spirituality (IJCS), to celebrate the journal’s 25th anniversary. Featuring contributions by leading international scholars from U.K., U.S., Canada, Finland, Australia, Hong Kong, and China, this edited volume focuses on different and complementary perspectives on children’s spirituality in diverse and changing contexts. Chapters cover topics such as: the study of children’s spirituality as a natural form of human awareness; a proposed pluricultural approach; the potential contributions of psychoanalytic tradition and cognitive psychology; possible influences of tradition(s), multidisciplinarity and perceptions on understanding children’s spiritual experiences; Christian perspectives on children’s spirituality in relation to living and dying in Quebec, Canada; Finnish pre‐adolescents’ perceptions of religion and spirituality; using technology, specifically tablets, as a component for understanding children’s spirituality; and cyber spirituality. This volume will be an invaluable resource for researchers and postgraduate students majoring in education studies, life, and moral and spiritual education and those majoring in psychology and religious studies.
