This book is unique in its focus and coverage, because no titles
have been published on the subject in recent years, despite the
increased interest in questions of religious truth as witnessed by
the increasing number of articles in relevant journals. It analyzes
liberal religious education in multi-cultural societies and
suggests ways in which religious education can help young people
learn to take responsibility for their beliefs and life-styles in
an informed, intelligent and responsible manner. Traditional
religious education in Europe and America and its transmission of
Christian beliefs has been transformed by the emergence of
multi-cultural societies into a process whereby children were
informed about different religious traditions. The primary task of
this new liberal religious education was often seen to be the moral
one of nurturing the twin liberal principles of freedom and
tolerance. Critics of liberal religious education argue that this
ignores questions of ultimate truth that are at the core of
religious belief: this book seeks to reconcile the often
contradictory accounts offered by different religions and secular
traditions.
