- Description
- This third edition offers a distinction between different approaches to religious education, ranging from Enfaithing models, designed principally to encourage and induct students into a particular faith tradition, through to Interfaith models that are designed to offer literacy about religions across their various types and traditions. In the middle, the author offers a compromise model, designed essentially for education about religions but also providing pedagogical moments for personal search and exploration of particular faith traditions. This third edition suggests that religious education is a more mature curriculum area than was the case in 1989, having a more prestigious and central role in mainstream education. In the twenty years that have passed, the matter of religious education has become more urgent, especially around the prevalence of religious misunderstanding and conflict, much of which threatens the future of societies and of peaceful civilization generally. The author explores these themes in a new final section of the book.
