Opis

This book is a collection of controversial essays outlining a new role for religious education in the post-Education Reform Act period. The distinguished authors, from a wide range of commitments, educational and religious, present strong and realistic cases for the priority envisaged. The book, therefore, combines a wide agenda for RE within a structure which is reasible and can promote unity. It examines current presuppositions and gives grounds for rethinking them. The thrust of the book is positive, offering some real hope of reconciliation between the so-called confessional and phenomenological views of RE. The overall aim of the authors is to disturb, but in a creative way, the accent being on what can be done.
