The principle purpose of Religious Education has traditionally been
to instruct and inform, with discussion and questioning occupying a
secondary position. This traditional approach gives overwhelming
emphasis to the historical aspects of religion, and not only fails
to put into perspective the issues raised by religion today, but
also takes no account of the growing movement in schools towards
learning by enquiry and questioning rather than by the accumulation
of stated facts. This title, first published in 1973, explores the
ways in which religion can be approached from a more sociological
standpoint, and aims to encourage the reader to examine religion in
a more objective manner. The wide-ranging and exploratory theme of
this book makes it ideal for follow-up work and suggestions for
further study are provided after each chapter. This title will be
of interest to teachers and students of Religious Studies.
