zelli21 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I'm looking for a comparative religion curriculum, resource...something for 8-12 year olds. Here the background, my 8 yr old step-son made a remark over the weekend that my hubby and I need to raise his brother as a Christian. Which lead to my step-daughter inquiring about our religion. It took a lot of self-restraint to not flip at the remark since DH and I made a choice not to force our religious beliefs on them as it may contradict the religious beliefs their mother is allowing their step-father to force upon them. (Sorry that is my little vent). My goal is to teach them about the different religions and that they can still be friends with people who believe differently than them. But most importantly to respect that everyone is entitled to believe as they wish and they should not make those types of comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I saw this recently online but unfortunately haven't been able to see it up close, but it looked promising: One World, Many Religions: The Ways We Worship by Mary Pope Osborne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjselmk Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Those look interesting. We are not a religious family, but were just casually discussing world religions the other day and I think my kids would enjoy more formal information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 It's aimed at middle school, but we've used http://www.amazon.com/World-Religions-Gabriel-Arquilevich/dp/1557346240 It's a workbook format, but very informative and easy to use. I've been considering also Galore Park's http://www.galorepark.co.uk/product/textbooks/152/religious-studies-for-today-second-edition.html but I don't know much about it.

Mom2OregonBoys Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Usborne Encyclopedia of World Religions. We've found this book a useful resource alongside our culture studies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
