Childhood is a time for learning and exploring. For many children, religion plays a major role in the learning process. In Growing Up Religious: Christians and Jews and Their Journeys of Faith, Robert Wuthnow examines how people reflect on their childhood religious experiences and the effect religion has on their adult lives. Wuthnow argues adults often come back to the church not because of their beliefs, but because it reminds them of the simpler times of childhood and family outings. | Growing Up Religious by Robert Wuthnow, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
