Hi everyone,

we have been doing some talking with DD about different religions and I was wondering if anyone has any good resource for us to explore.

We also started talking different denominations, as some of her friends are not Catholic, but Christian.
Can anyone help in this area. It would be fascinating to explore this area.

Leanne

Your library probably has some books in the children's section that would be age-appropriate. Our library has books on Judaism, Islam, Latter-Day Saints, Hinduism, Buddhism, the Amish...not much on mainstream Protestant denominations, though.

We have this book:

Usborne Encyclopedia of World Religions

We like it a lot.

My Religious Studies professor in college always recommended The Joy of Sects. But it's more adult-oriented (as you can tell from the pun), but if you wanted to read the information and relay it that clarify some things for you.

I actually incorporate world religion into our history lessons. For instance, when we get to Mohammed we discussed the founding of Islam, its basic beliefs/practices, issues surrounding it today, and how it relates to our life (our community and pop culture references).

Oh, we also discuss about where things the same and different from what we believe as Catholics.

Thank you everyone for your recommendations. It has given me a better idea. Thanks.

Barbara,
That is what I want to do, know more about the different religions, so when dd asks in the car or where ever, I can ask confidently and re direct her to a source in our home.
