The book examines ancient religious traditions and modernity in a
globalized Asia that is as much in need of a moral compass as it is
economic development. Religious education has been an aspect of
many societies over time and irrespective of culture. Yet as
globalization advances local values are challenged every day by
internationalized discourses and global perspectives. It is this
context that provides the rationale for this edited book. It seeks
to understand what forms religious education takes in Asian
contexts and what role it continues to play. On the one hand, the
societies which are the subject of this book reflect ancient
religious traditions but on the other they are responsible for a
significant portion of the world's economic development. The book
will appeal to researchers interested in the current state of
religious education in Asia, policymakers with responsibility for
religious education and teachers who practice religious education
on a daily basis.
