Research and the Development of Religious Thinking.
Francis, Leslie
Educational Studies, v5 n2 p109-15 Jun 1979
A new model of research concerned with the development of religious thinking is proposed. The child's ability to use language in ways that characterize religious discourse is studied. Illustrations are taken from existing research which has studied the child's ability to use similar language idioms (metaphors, riddles, and proverbs) in a secular context. (Author/KC)
