Spirit of the Child by David Hay

The search for faith and belief grows, yet institutional religion is declining. The world into which children are inducted is often destructive to spirituality. Yet children emerge from infancy with a simplicity that is open to all experience. How can this be and what does such a phenomena tell us about the mind of the child and the nature of belief? Dr Hay looks at research done over many years which shows that children are capable of having deep and meaningful beliefs even at very young ages.
David Hay has been engaged in empirical research on the nature of religious or spiritual experience for more than 25 years. He is the author of The Spirit of the Child and is based at the Centre for the Study of Human Relations at the University of Nottingham.
