Opis

The Oxford Handbook of Religion and American Education brings together preeminent scholars to craft a comprehensive survey and assessment of the study of religion and education in the United States.

Recenzje

an impressive feat ... this book is useful to almost all scholars of the humanities, social sciences, or legal studies -- regardless of their specific areas of interest. These fields concern themselves with the articulation and transmission of norms for personal and social conduct, and would find that this study of the role of religion in both formal and informal education clarifies our understanding of how this transmission occurs in American life ... I recommend it highly.
