The Palgrave Handbook of Religion in Public Education, Gebunden

Klappentext

This handbook brings together the latest international research surrounding religion in education. Chapters examine the central question of (non-)religion within state-governed education, as well as teaching about religion in schools and other institutions at all education levels. They address global and societal developments such as the reappearance of religion in the public sphere, secularisation, migration, radicalisation, social harmony and the role of religion in cultural heritage. This interdisciplinary volume presents research-based perspectives which employ empirical, theoretical and philosophical approaches, from scholars at different career stages, and with diverse religions, worldviews and backgrounds. The handbook will appeal to scholars, students and policymakers in religion and education, as well as practising teachers and those with a background in religious studies, theology and philosophy.
