Abstract

Of the research work on the attitude of young people to wards Christ, the results so far available may very briefly be summed up as follows : — Age is the most significant factor in the attitude of students at the secondary level. The younger they are, the more do they experience His Divinity and His Humanity as being opposed ; as they grow older they integrate better these two aspects, coming to experience Christ's Divinity in His out-of-the-common Humanity. The influence of sex has not yet been systematically examined. — Neither age (19 to 25 years) nor sex plays a significant discriminating role among the university students chosen as respondents. The kind of studies, on the contrary, discrimi nates. Thus, more than those in the positive sciences, the students in the social sciences experience Christ as a unique manifestation of God in the world. — A further characteristic feature is that only one-third of the students acknowledge that Christ plays an important role in their religious lives, while another one-third live their christianity as a natural religion. The remaining ones adopt a doubtful attitude. 88.7 % do however state belief in Christ's Divinity.
