ABSTRACT

Children display real insights into spiritual matters from time to time and appear to involve themselves in prayer, religious services and other activities with great seriousness. Christianity is not only a faith difficult for adult men and women to understand and accept, but it is also one of the world’s most advanced religions, in the level of theological thought demanded. It is enough to say that if the basic theme of religion is redemption, those to whom it must appeal should have had some first-hand experience of that from which religion claims to redeem them. Children are highly motivated in relation to religion. At a time when religion intellectually can mean something really relevant in the lives of young people, the willingness to think strenuously about it seems to die. A new-born baby is ready for religion in that his entire life is dependent upon a power beyond.
