A Cross-Cultural Study of Children's Perceptions of Selected Religious Concepts.
Nazar, Fatima; Kouzekanani, Kamiar
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v49 n2 p155-62 Sum 2003
A survey of 219 children from a kindergarten in the United States and a Kuwaiti kindergarten and Indian private preschool in Kuwait examined children's perceptions of God, death, and the afterlife. The common responses of the children suggest that although different views of Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism may appear contradictory, they are all views of one reality and of one attainable vision of that reality.
