Religion has had notable and renewed prominence in contemporary
public and political life. Religious questions have also been
freshly examined in philosophy and theology, the natural sciences,
the social sciences, psychology, phenomenology, politics and the
arts. These fields reflect complex, multi-disciplinary
understandings of religion, some hostile, some accommodating. For
religious education this has all contributed to its own
international renaissance. Religious education, in ensuring it is
contemporary, shares with these fields the same criticality, the
same distance between the study of religion and the religious life.
Yet what are the grounds of this modern religious education?
Through a systematic historical and contemporary cross-disciplinary
analysis, answering this question is the ambitious task of the
book. Chapters include: philosophy, theology and religious
education the natural sciences and religious education the social
sciences and religious education psychology, spirituality and
religious education phenomenology and religious education the
politics of religious education the aesthetics of religious
education. The central problem of all modern religious education
remains this: what are the grounds of religious education when
religious education is no longer grounded in the religious life, in
the life of the holy? Although this primarily appears to be an
epistemological problem, it soon becomes a moral and existential
one. The book will be of key interest to teachers, theorists and
researchers working in religious education.
